PLASMA MEMBRANE
Both models show that the plasma membrane has a phospholipid bilayer with
attached proteins .




The Davson-Danielli model shows the plasma membrane as
having two layers
of protein that envelops the the PLs like the bread of of a Sandwich.

However this model is incorrect and Nicholson-Singer's Model shows that in fact

the proteins with proteins permeating PL
are in between the PL
bilayer ,
some the bilayer
completely and some protein only being in one layer (peripheral/integral
