Which of the following describes the fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane structure?
Correct answer: B. Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins
- A. Phospholipid monolayer with embedded proteins
- B. Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins
- C. Triglyceride bilayer with embedded proteins
- D. Triglyceride monolayer with embedded proteins
Explanation
The model proposes that the membrane is a phospholipids bilayer in which protein molecules are either partially or wholly embedded.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
