Question

_______ model is proposed by Singer and Nicholson.

  1. Sandwich model
  2. Unit membrane model
  3. Fluid lipid model
  4. Fluid mosaic model

hintHint:

The fluid mosaic model was explained by Singer and Nicolson.

The correct answer is: Fluid mosaic model


    • Singer and Nicolson in the year 1972 proposed a fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane.
    • The model represents that the proteins float in the sea of lipids.
    • The plasma membrane has phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol.
