### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Introduction to the Fluid Mosaic Model**: - The plasma membrane is described by the fluid mosaic model, which was proposed by scientists Singer and Nicholson. This model explains the structure and behavior of the plasma membrane. 2. **Composition of the Plasma Membrane**: - The plasma membrane is primarily composed of a bilayer of phospholipids. These phospholipids have hydrophilic (water-attracting) heads and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails, which arrange themselves into two layers. ...
