Fluid Mosaic Model Of Plasma Membrane. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of components —including phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates—that gives the membrane a fluid character.

It is in semifluid state. It is flexible and can be folded, broken and reunited. Phospholipids form a bimolecular layer.
