Fluid mosaic model and diagram

1.	Fluid mosaic model and diagram
Answer» According to fluid mosaic model, plasma membrane is made up of a bilayer of phospholipids. There are two types of protein molecules: Intrinsic Proteins, which completely covers the lipid bilayer and Extrinsic Proteins, which occur either on the outer surface or on the inner surface of the lipid membrane. The fluid mosaic membrane has been described as “a number of protein icebergs floating in the sea of lipids”.
