Question:

The fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane was given by Robertson, Gorter and Grendel, Singer and Nicholson, or Robert Hooke?

Robertson

Robert Hooke

Singer and Nicholson

Gorter and Grendel

Solution:

Fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane was given by singer and nicholson in year 1972. The biological membrane are considered to be a quasi-fluid structure in which the lipids and integral proteins are arranged in a mosaic manner. Gorter and Grendel measured the lipid content of haemolysed erythrocytes and concluded that cell membrane are chiefly formed of phospholipids arranged to form a bimolecular lipid sheet. So, the correct answer is option C.
