The latest model for plasma membrane is

1. lamellar model
2. unit membrane model
3. fluid mosaic model
4. molecular lipid model

Correct answer: fluid mosaic model

Solution

The fluid mosaic model is correct because it explains the plasma membrane as a dynamic phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move laterally. This best matches modern evidence from cell biology and membrane biophysics.
