What is the "big idea" of the fluid mosaic model of plasma membranes?

• the plasma membrane creates a specialized FLUID that looks like a MOSAIC.

• the plasma membrane is a MOSAIC.

• the fluid mosaic model is NOT related to the plasma membrane.

• a plasma membrane is a MOSAIC of components that move FREELY and FLUIDLY.

What does "bilayer" mean?

• one layer
• two layers
• laminated
• bilateral

What does the "fluid mosaic model" mean about the cell membrane?

• It can dissolve into fluid.
• The cell is mostly made of mosaic molecules.
• It looks like a flexible pattern made up of different parts.
• Somebody else should name these things.

The function of the plasma membrane is....

• to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
• fight bacteria and viruses that enter the cell.
• provide rigid support and protection to the cell.
• make sure each cell can move
