The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks who proposed the fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane. 2. **Identifying Key Contributors**: The video transcript mentions several scientists associated with the plasma membrane models: - Robertson - Gorter and Grendel - Singer and Nicholson - Daniel and Davidson 3. **Analyzing the Contributions**: - **Robertson**: Proposed the biomembrane model, which was later rejected. - **Gorter and Grendel**: Conducted experiments on red blood cells and contributed to the understanding of the lipid bilayer. - **Singer and Nicholson**: Proposed the fluid mosaic model, which describes the plasma membrane as a bilayer of lipids with proteins embedded within it. This model is widely accepted today. - **Daniel and Davidson**: Proposed a sandwich model, which was similar to Robertson's model but also did not gain acceptance. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the information provided, the fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane was given by **Singer and Nicholson**. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **Singer and Nicholson**. ---
