Answer: Fluid mosaic organisation: It was proposed in the early 1970s by S.J. Singer and G. Nicolson.
Explanation: According this model, plasma membrane is composed of carbohydrates, cholesterol, proteins, and a lipid bilayer, or double layer of lipids. The plasma membrane may be known as a fluid mosaic model where the membrane is a fluid structure with various proteins embedded in or attached to the bilayer of phospholipids that gives the membrane a fluid character. Plasma membranes range from 5 to 10 nm in thickness.
