Correct answer: B. Fluid mosaic
- A. Unit membrane
- B. Fluid mosaic
- C. Permeable
- D. Ultracentrifuge
Explanation
Fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane described the arrangement of phospholipids two layers, stabilized interiorly by the hydrophobic interactions while hydrophilic interactions at intracellular and extracellular faces with embedded proteins randomly.
