Question
the plasma membrane consists mainly of
Options
A.Phospholipids embedded in a protien bilayer
B.protien embedded in a Phospholipids bilayer
C.protien embedded in a polymer of glucose of molecules
D.protien embedded in a carbohydrate bilayer
Solution
According to fluid mosaic model given by Singer and Nicholson (1972), plasma membrane consists of a continuous bilayer of phospholipid molecules, in which globular corresponds to icebergs floating in a sea of phospholipids. Protiens stan in the membrane because they have regions of hydrophobic amino acisd which interact with fatty acid tails to exclude water. rest of the molecule is hydrophilic, which faces into or onward, both of which are aqueous environment.
