Fluid Mosaic Model

[allyally76]

I learnt absolutely nothing..

[manhidnatao]

looks like its farting ,,..

Your video reminds me of the film Fantastic Voyage (1966), but then, if you've seen my vids here you know I'm stuck in the 60's. LOL I like traveling inside of things like in Tron or The Magic School Bus. Micro/macro state of mind. I got hooked up to your vid because of the mosaic I did of Colleen Corby. Thanks for posting. It's beautiful!

the hydrophobic tails aren't suppose to be connected... it looks as if they are

[nadeemaliable]

should be explain

[RoseSheeps]

This isn't really a good description of the fluid mosaic model - but ion channels. You at least need to show fluidity/movement of some of the lipids ...

Hey bro if you have n e thing releted to Endosymbiotic theory please do post as soo as possible.

the steroid (cholesterol) controls the fluidity level

[HangMehHead]

steroids, in animal, are usually cholesterol

[SaxplayerRules66]

Cholesterol is a sterol not a steroid!!

[davidesteban123]

cholesterol IS a steroid but is said to be an sterol because of the presence of an OH hidroxile at the C3

[daNCinSam5678]

does anyone know what the carbohydrates do in the cell?? and steroids?

good video by the way.

[bantderson8]

they form the glycocalyx which can be used for cellular communication

[ropethefeet]

they call it the fluid mosaic model because the carrier proteins and chloresterol actually float around in the plasma membrane. When viewed through a microscope it looks like a mosaic because of the trails these floating particles leave.

oh thanks

[bluemini9]

very nice video and thany you again for the permission

I don't get why they call the cell membrane a "fluid mosaic Model?"

[ChristianXO]

another model for bio-mebranes is called the "iceberg-model; everything may flow through the mebrane (proteins, lipids, etc), but very slowly

like small pieces of a mosaic ;)

[Violascry]

Since the structures in the cell membrane (which is two phospholipid molecules thick) are too small to be seen under a microscope, scientists have come up with a model to explain what they think it looks like - they named this model the "fluid mosaic model" because the cell membrane is much like a mosiac of phospholipids and protein structures move fluidly through it.
