Question

Fluid Mosaic Model which explains the
structure of plasma membrane.
According to this
this model, which
component of it is quasifluid in nature?
1) Lipid
2) protein
3) only integral proteins
4) only peripheral proteins

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Lipid

Explanation:

because there are two types of lipid

1. phospholipid

# Main component of cell membrane.

# it provide structure to cell membrane.

# provide fluidity to cell membrane,due to unsaturated fatty acid.

2. colestrol

# it is rigid than phospholipid.

# it provide stability

# it was present in only eukaryotes

Quasifluid means semi liquid

|

as phospholipid provide fluidity and colestrol provide stability to cell membrane

hence, CELL MEMBRANE IS QAUSIFLUID MEMBRANE.
