Further, proteins may occupy small areas at the bilayer level but have large ectodomains covering lipid and creating steric restrictions. Most drawings of the fluid mosaic model greatly exaggerate ...

Our present picture of cell membranes as lipid bilayers is the legacy of a ... dynamic model of the plasma membrane. Figure 2: The fluid mosaic membrane of Singer and Nicholson.

Building on previous work, Seymour Singer and Garth Nicolson suggested a structure for this layer in 1972 which they called the fluid mosaic model ... the Golgi apparatus which encloses them in lipid ...

Cell membranes make up the exterior of all cells and are a basic structure ... the fluid mosaic model. Their model has since been found to explain many features in living organisms. The bilayer ...
