B) It is a fluid mosaic model, with proteins interspaced in the phospholipids, both of which can freely move laterally.
Explanation:
The fluid mosaic model proposed by Singer and Nicolson describes the plasma membrane’s structure as a mosaic pattern of components consisting of phospholipids, proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates; all of which provides the unique fluid character of the membrane.
According to this model, the phospholipids constitute the main fabric, cholesterol attaches between the phospholipids in between the layers, integral proteins embedded within the bilayers of the phospholipids, peripheral proteins along the peripheries of the layers and carbohydrates outside the membranous layers.
Answer:
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
Explanation:
Biomolecules are organic and are carbon containing and are of four types which are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
Carbohydrates are part of our major diets and are found in grains, fruits and vegetables and so on.
Carbohydrates are energy producing food through glucose.
Lipids contain both fat and oil and they are hydrocarbon and non polar molecules that don't dissolve in water. They provide energy, insulation in the environment and are major constituent of plasma.
Proteins are organic molecules found in meat, milk, beans, cheese e.t.c.
They are body building food or serve as building blocks.
They are enzymes and hormones which are involved in body mechanisms.
Nucleic acids are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) and ribonucleic acids. They are the genetic constituent of living organisms and they carry the genetic information.
