-The fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane- refers to the plasma-membrane as a fluid combination of phospholipids- cholesterol- and-proteins- The carbohydrates attached to lipids -glycolipids- and to-proteins -glycoproteins- extend from the outward-facing surface of-the membrane-The fluid property of these-xA0- membranes were-determined through observation in labeling experiments- x-ray-diffraction and calorimetry- These studies and recent advances in-fluorescence microscopy and structural biology validates the fluid-mosaic model-
