Question

what is the term used to describe the cell membranes ability to function using the fluid mosaic model?
amphibious
ambitious
amphipathic

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In the fluid - mosaic model, cell membranes are composed of amphipathic molecules. These molecules have both hydrophilic (water - loving) and hydrophobic (water - fearing) regions which allow the membrane to function. Amphibious refers to living both on land and in water, and ambitious is not related to cell membrane function. Amphipathic describes the key property of membrane components enabling membrane function.

Answer:

C. Amphipathic
