and G. Nicolson‚ is called the fluid mosaic model. This model depicts that proteins (integral and peripheral) form a mosaic since they are floating in a fluid layer of phospholipids‚ which makes up the components of the cell membrane (along with cholesterol). Each of these parts of the membrane enables it to be more efficient. The purpose of a cell membrane is to support and protect the cell‚ but also to control the movement of materials in and out of it. It is selectively permeable1‚ creates a barrier

increased resistance to freezing temperatures exhibited by seedlings grown at 2 degrees C." The phospholipid bilayer is flexible or has fluidity. This prevents it from solidifying at colder temperatures. Cholesterol in the plasma membrane affects the fluidity. At lower temperatures cholesterol helps prevent the plasma membrane from freezing by not allowing contact between the phospholipid tails. Saturated fats are solid at cooler temperatures‚ while unsaturated fats are not. So it is only logical

and the extra cellular matrix. The fluidity of the membrane‚ according to this model‚ is important because it allows for the processes of endocytosis and exocytosis to occur. Membranes are fluid due to the lateral movement of the phospholipids. Cholesterol molecules are found among

Take note: having as few as 3 drinks at once can cause liver damage if mixed with certain medications—including acetaminophen and statin drugs used to treat high cholesterol.
