Fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane states that protein molecules float in a fluid-like _ layer.
Correct answer: C. Phospholipids
- A. Galactose
- B. Glucose
- C. Phospholipids
- D. Carbohydrate
Explanation
Fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane described the arrangement of phospholipids in two layers, stabilized interiorly by the hydrophobic interactions while hydrophilic interactions at intracellular and extracellular faces with embedded proteins randomly.
