The set of questions here asks us about the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane and about transmembrane proteins qualities.
00:12
A brief model is drawn above which shows the membrane, which has its hydrophobic heads, the hydrophobic tails, an example of a transmembrane protein.
00:30
The first question asks about the fluid mosaic model and the tenets supported or not supported, supported by it.
00:38
So the fluid mosaic model basically refers to the structural components of the cell membrane.
00:45
And so we're going to look for which possible answer choice does not give us information about structure.
00:53
The first set of answers state that the phospholipid layer is a major structural component.
01:00
Cholesterol is a fluid part of the model resulting in the structure of the fluid mosaic.
01:08
And that, that, you know, the that peripheral glycoproteins have a structural support role.
01:13
All three of these reference structure, so these are not possible answer choices.
01:19
Option d says that a higher ratio of fatty acids causes less fluidity.
01:25
Again, fluidity is related to structure, so this is not a possible answer.
01:31
Option e says that integral proteins may act as enzymes.
01:37
This is a functional role rather than a structural role, so the correct answer for one is going to be integral proteins such as transmemberary proteins may act enzymatically.
02:06
And again, this is not supported by fluid mosaic model...
