How Does The Fluid Mosaic Model Allow For Membrane Transport?
The fluid mosaic model, proposed by S.J. Singer and G.L. Nicolson in 1972, revolutionized our understanding of the structure and function of biological membranes. The Fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane as a dynamic, fluid-structure composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins and carbohydrates, and the fluidity of the membrane allows for various…
