The fluid-mosaic model describes the plasma membrane of
animal cells. The plasma membrane that surrounds these cells has two
layers (a bilayer) of phospholipids (fats with phosphorous
attached), which at body temperature are like vegetable oil (fluid).
And the structure of the plasma membrane supports the old saying, “Oil
and water don’t mix.”
Each phospholipid molecule has a head that is attracted to water (hydrophilic: hydro = water; philic = loving) and a tail that repels water (hydrophobic: hydro = water; phobic
= fearing). Both layers of the plasma membrane have the hydrophilic
heads pointing toward the outside; the hydrophobic tails form the inside
of the bilayer.
Because cells reside in a watery solution (extracellular
fluid), and they contain a watery solution inside of them (cytoplasm),
the plasma membrane forms a circle around each cell so that the
water-loving heads are in contact with the fluid, and the water-fearing
tails are protected on the inside.
Meiosis produce cells with half the chromosomes, because a<span> gamete needs only half the number of chromosomes, because two gametes join together. </span>
Answer:The ocean is constantly in motion, moving water from place to place via currents. The Gulf Stream brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico all the way up to the Norwegian Sea. As the warm water comes in, colder, denser water sinks and begins moving south—eventually flowing along the bottom of the ocean all the way to Antarctica.
