The fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane proposes that:
1. Proteins form a continuous rigid layer around lipid molecules
2. Lipids are embedded within a protein matrix forming a static structure
3. Both proteins and lipids are immobile within the membrane
4. Proteins are dispersed in a phospholipid bilayer and show lateral movement
