The “mosaic” term of this model refers to the mixture of lipids and intrinsic proteins in the membrane. These boundaries are also “fluid” because their components can move laterally, allowing both diffusion of components and local specific gatherings. Other lipids, such as cholesterol, act as...

Membrane lipid is the executor of biomembrane function.
How does the "fluid mosaic model" describe the structure of the plasma membrane? Why is the cell membrane referred to as the fluid mosaic model? Why is the cell membrane called a fluid mosaic? Why is the model of the cell membrane referred to as fluid?

In the fluid mosaic model, the membrane mosaic is ___ because most of interactions among its components are noncovalent, leaving individual lipid and protein molecule free to move laterally in the plane of the membrane.A.solidB.semisolidC.fluidD.se
B. zhenghensis exhibits a unique combination of derived ornithothoracine-like pectoral and pelvic girdles and plesiomorphic non-avialan maniraptoran hand, demonstrating mosaic evolution along stem avialan line.

I recognise the ongoing debates around ethnicity terminology (Aspinall, 2020), that ethnicity is fluid and there is no ideal term to represent multiple ethnic communities (Bhopal, 2004). In this paper, I use the term minority ethnic communities as this is term is commonly used within literature...
