To explain the structure of plasma membrane, the model was proposed.
00:08
Plasma membrane is also known as cell membrane.
00:13
The main function of plasma membrane is it separates outer environment separates outer environment from the inner components of the cell, from inner.
00:33
Cellular components.
00:35
This is the major function because it makes a compartment wherein all the cellular activities can occur and it is also fluid enough to allow transport of substances.
00:49
Transports substances which is very selective in nature so hence named as selectively permeable memory selectively permeable so to explain the structure a model was proposed, it is known as fluid mosaic model which was proposed by two scientists, that is singer, singer and nicholson in 1972.
01:26
So it states that the plasma membrane is mainly made up of two molecules.
01:31
One is the phospholipids, phospholipids, and the other main component is the proteins.
01:41
So it says phospholipids form a bilayer, so double layer and proteins are embedded within the bilayer embedded in mosaic pattern.

Mosaic pattern...
