Chapter 5: Membrane Structure and Function AP Biology Fluid Mosaic Model Video The Basics ● The structure of cell membranes results in selective permeability ● Cell membranes separate the internal environment of the cell from the external environment. ● Selective permeability is a direct consequence of membrane structure as described in the fluid mosaic model. Fluid Mosaic Model 1. Singer and Nicolson (1972) introduced this model 2. Embedded proteins are scattered t...
