    According to widely accepted "fluid mosaic model" cell membranes are semi-fluid, where lipids and integral proteins can diffuse randomly. In recent years, this model has been modified in several respects. In this regard, which of the following statements is incorrect?

    A) Proteins in cell membranes can travel within the lipid bilayer.

    B) Proteins can also undergo flip-flop movements in the lipid bilayer.

    C) Proteins can remain confined within certain domains of the membrane.

    D) Many proteins remain completely embedded within the lipid bilayer.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The quasi-fluid nature of lipid enable lateral movement of proteins within the overall bilayer. This ability to move within the membrane is measured as its fluidity.
