Question

How does Singer and Nicholson's model of cell membrane varies from Robertson's model?

  1. It differs in the arrangement of the number of lipid layers.
  2. It differs in the arrangement of lipids.
  3. It differs in the absence of protein molecules in Nicholson’s model.
  4. It differs in the arrangement of proteins.  

hintHint:

The plasma membrane model of Singer and Nicholson varies from that of Robertson in the arrangement of proteins.

The correct answer is:

It differs in the arrangement of proteins.


    • Singer and Nicholson's model varies from Robertson's model in the arrangement of proteins.
    • Robertson's model explains that lipids layers are present in between two protein layers.
    • Singer and Nicholson's model explains that the proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer.
