हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The quasi-fluid nature of membrane lipids enables the lateral movement of proteins within the overall lipid bilayer. Statement II: The ability of proteins to move within the membrane bilayer is measured as membrane fluidity. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
According to the fluid mosaic model by Singer and Nicolson (1972), the quasi-fluid lipid nature enables lateral movement of proteins, which defines membrane fluidity.
