diverse proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer
Explanation:
According to fluid mosaic model the cell membrane is made of bilayer of phospholipid.Many proteins are embedded in this bi layer. Carbohydrate and cholesterol are also found in different forms. Carbohydrate can either be attached to the embedded protein in which case it is called as glycoprotein or it can be connected to the lipid molecule in layer and called as glycolipid.
Proteins can be found in two forms too. They can either be embedded in the layer i.e. they can penetrate single or both layers. These proteins are called as integral proteins. They can also be present on one side of the membrane and not penetrate the lipid bilayer in which case they are called as peripheral proteins.
Intermediate magma is also known as andesitic magmas and these are created when an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. The magma is generated in the wedge of mantle rock beneath the crust. The Cascade Mountain Range is formed due to the subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate beneath the North American Plate.
