The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of cell membranes, highlighting the dynamic nature and diverse components that enable various cellular functions.
Structure of the plasma membrane - Khan Academy
The currently accepted model for the structure of the plasma membrane, called the fluid mosaic model, was first proposed in 1972. This model has evolved over time, but it still provides a good basic description of the structure and behavior of membranes in many cells.
Cell membrane overview and fluid mosaic model
The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of components —including phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates—that gives the membrane a fluid character thus it is called so.
