A sandwich can resemble the fluid mosaic model
Explanation:
- The fluid mosaic model explains the structure of the cell membrane which is composed of the phospholipids, cholesterol and the proteins.
- These components are arranged in the bilayer form with the that is two layers of the phospholipids with the hydrophilic portion on the outside and the hydrophobic portion inside. This bilayer looks a mosaic of many other molecules like the proteins, cholesterol, glycoproteins and many other.
- This bilayer structure appears like a sandwich in which the upper and lower layer are the phospholipids and in between the space with the extra stuff.
