There are two kinds of proteins in a cell membrane: peripheral PROTEINS OR trans membrane proteins. Cell membranes are able to perform various functions only because of different membrane protein functions. Most of the membrane proteins have alpha helix structure.

The plasma membrane is referred to as the fluid mosaic model because it is composed of a fluid lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that create a mosaic-like pattern. The lipid bilayer is fluid and allows for the movement of molecules within the membrane, while the embedded proteins can move around and interact with one another, creating a dynamic and mosaic-like structure.
