Fluid mosaic model of membranes


The phospholipids in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of a human cell are fluorescently labeled. This cell is then fused with a mouse cell. Based on the fluid mosaic model of membranes, predict where the fluorescent signal will be found 40 minutes after fusion.

A: The signal will be evenly distributed through both the inner and outer leaflets of the fused cell.

B: The signal will be clustered in one half of the fused cell evenly distributed between the inner and outer leaflet in that portion of the cell.

C: The signal will be evenly distributed through the inner leaflet of the fused cell.

D: The signal will be clustered on one half of the outer leaflet of the fused cell.

E: The signal will be evenly distributed through the outer leaflet of the fused cell.
