The fluid mosaic model only describes the composition of the MEMBRANE, it has nothing to do with the fluid inhabiting the inside or outside of the cell.

Ok. Thank you for replying. But please can you explain what the exoplasm is and what role it plays?

No problem. Before I help, what exam board are you doing? The question might be referring to the exoplasmic face of the membrane, which would be relevant to your questions.

Pearson. I am not doing A levels though. I am doing a level 3 extended diploma in animal management so it doesn't really matter how which terminology you use. Thank you so much for your help.
