Assertion :The quasified nature of lipid enables lateral movement of proteins within the overall bilayer. Reason: This ability to move within the membrane is called fluidity and is important for cell growth.

Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The structures of cell membrane was proposed by Singer and Nicolson
(1972) widely accepted as fluid mosaic mode. According to this, the
quasi-fluid nature of lipid enables lateral movement of proteins within
the overall bilayer. This ability to move within the membrane is
measured as its fluidity. The fluid nature of the membrane is important
for functions like cell growth, formation of intercellular junctions,
secretion, endocytosis, cell division etc.
So, the correct
answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
