The mosaic fluid model explains that membranes are composed of a lipidic bilayer and proteins embedded in them. Option C.

What is the fluid Mosaic Model?

The model explains that two lipidic layers compose the cell membrane, with proteins and glucans embedded in between.

Lipids are arranged with their hydrophilic heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, while their hydrophobic tails are against each other, constituting the internal part of the membrane.

Two types of proteins compose the membrane,

• Integral proteins, permanently associated with the membrane.

• Periferic proteins, in the internal or external surface.

Proteins and lipids are distributed asymmetrically in the membrane. Proteins have a determined orientation, which is essential to accomplish their functions.

Membranes are fluid, meaning their molecules can move by

• Lateral diffusion in the same layer →This is passive diffusion.

• Transversally to the other layer → infrequent

• Rotational diffusion → rotation of the molecule.
