Q: Which cell theory proved that the semi -fluid nature of lipids enables lateral movement of proteins within the overall bilayer ?
  • A. Golgi bodies model
  • B. Vacuole theory
  • C. Cell theory
  • D. Fluid mosaic model
Correct Answer: Option D - The fluid mosaic model proved that the semi - fluid nature of lipids enables lateral movement of proteins within the overall lipid bilayer. This model explains the structure of the plasma membrane of animal cells as a mosaic of components such as phospholipids, proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrate This model was proposed by S. J. Singer and G. L. Nicolson.
