IB Biology SL B2.1.10 Fluid mosaic model
Practise interpreting fluid mosaic membrane diagrams, labels and model comparisons, including why embedded components make the structure mosaic.
How this is tested
- label phospholipids, proteins and hydrophilic regions in membrane diagrams
- explain why embedded proteins and related molecules make the model mosaic
- distinguish the fluid mosaic model from the Davson-Danielli model
