Analogs of this organelle can be studied using a Langmuir trough.
Analogs of this organelle can be studied using a Langmuir trough. Although not fixing mitochondria,osmium tetroxide is a widely used stain for this organelle. This organelle is split into an E half and a P halfwhen studied using freeze-fracture replication. Frye and Edidin used the Sendai virus to fuse two of theseorganelles in an experiment that showed proteins could diffuse through them. Common compounds thatgive this organelle its structure include serine, choline, and ethanolamine. Sealing strands are foundbetween two of them in a tight junction. The modern model of this structure is the fluid mosaic model. For10 points, identify this phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell.
