Fluid Mosaic Model Characteristics A. Proposed by Singer and Nicolson 1. Describes membrane structure B. Quasi-fluid nature 2. Enables protein movement C. Lateral movement of proteins 3. Accepted in 1972 D. Model acceptance 4. Describes lipid bilayer
Options
- AA - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
- BA - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
- CA - 4, B - 1, C - 3, D - 2
- DA - 3, B - 1, C - 4, D - 2
Correct answer
A. A - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
Step-by-step solution
The fluid mosaic model was proposed by Singer and Nicolson in 1972.It describes the quasi-fluid nature of the lipid bilayer.The lateral movement of proteins is enabled by the membrane's fluidity.This model describes the overall structure of the cell membrane.
