Which of the following describes the fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane structure?

O Phospholipid trilayer with embedded proteins

O phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, cholesterol and carbohydrates

O triglyceride bilayer with embedded nucleic acids

O Phopholipid monolayer with embedded proteins

ANSWER: 2) Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, cholesterol and carbohydrates.

EXPLANATION:

it's a bilayer because there are 2 layers (bi) - the inside layer is made of hydrophobic fatty acid tails, while the outer layer is made up of hydrophilic polar heads that are pointed toward the water.carbohydrates are found on the exterior surface of cells. cholesterol is another word for fatty substance and is found alongside phospholipids in the core of the membrane.
