8. Cell membranes are described as being fluid mosaics. What does that mean?

Are all membrane components free to diffuse laterally anywhere within the membrane? A fluid mosaic means that molecules can move freely within the heterogeneous liquid layer. 10. Pieces of membranes frequently move from one area of a cell to another, but never as just flat patches, only as vesicles. Study Figure 3-9, and the draw examples of endocytosis and exocytosis using different colors for the two sides of the membranes. Notice that the black side of the membrane bi-layer always touches the blue part of the cell in Figure 3-9. Can you come up with any type of vesicle fusion that would result in the black side of the membrane touching the green part of the cell?
