Please clearly state the answer.
Question 9
The cell membrane structure is referred to as the "fluid mosaic model" of the membrane because
it is mostly made up of water molecules which we know to be fluid.
it is exclusively made up of protein molecules that move fluids in and out of the membrane
it is entirely and exclusively made up of flexible, mobile phospholipid molecules.
it is ever-changing in its components, sometimes being made up of just lipids, sometimes being made up of just proteins, and sometimes being made up of just carbohydrates.
it is composed of flexible, mobile phospholipid molecules with an embedded assortment of specialized proteins and lipid molecules.

Explanation / Answer
Ans. D
it is composed of flexible, mobile phospholipid molecules with an embedded assortment of specialized proteins and lipid molecules.
The fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane describes the plasma membrane as a fluid combination of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins.
