Fluid Mosaic Model
It is the model of the cell membrane.
What is the Fluid Mosaic Model?
It controls what enters and exits the cell.

What is the Cell Membrane?
It is the movement of substances across the membrane without the use of energy. An example of this is diffusion.

What is Passive Transport?
The scientists that created the fluid mosaic model.
Who are S.J. Singer and Garth L. Nicolson?
The cell membrane is mostly made up of these.

What are Phospholipids?
It is the movement of substances across the membrane while using energy. It will occur with the help of protein pumps or vesicles.

What is Active Transport?
The fluid mosaic model helps us understand this.
What are the structures of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane acts as a barrier providing this to the cell.

What is Protection?
It is the type of vesicle transport that moves a substance into the cell.
What is Endocytosis?
The components that are in a membrane, and form a mobile mosaic that is in a fluid-like environment in the cell.
What are Proteins and Glycolipids?
Molecules that can pass through the cell membrane without help.
What are oxygen and carbon dioxide?
This is the type of vesicle transport that moves a substance out of the cell.
What is Exocytosis?
What is the Hypothesis that the cell membrane was made of a lipid bilayer?
Allows only certain materials to go into and out of cell

What is selective permeability?
Cell transport helps cells maintain this process inside every cell in the body.
What is Homeostasis?
