Fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane

The video explores the structure and function of plasma membranes, emphasizing their role in maintaining cell organization and selective permeability. It covers the fluid mosaic model, detailing the components like proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and their arrangement in the membrane. The phospholipid bilayer's amphipathic nature is explained, along with the functions of membrane proteins. The video also discusses membrane fluidity, influenced by lipid composition and cholesterol, and outlines transport mechanisms, including passive and active transport, and osmosis.
