What statement uses plasma membrane and lipid bilayer correctly? a. The plasma membrane is a half of the whole lipid bilayer b. The lipid bilayer of the cell is called the plasma membrane c. Each plasma membrane contains at least 2 lipid bilayers d. The plasma membrane is made up of multiple lipid bilayers

It is composed of a lipid bilayer, which means that it consists of two layers of phospholipid molecules arranged in such a way that their hydrophobic tails face each other and their hydrophilic heads face outward. a. The plasma membrane is a half of the whole Show more…

Which of the following statements about a typical plasma membrane is correct? a. Phospholipids are the primary component that determines which solutes can cross the plasma membrane. b. The plasma membrane is a covalently linked network of phospholipids and proteins that controls the movement of solutes into and out of a cell. c. Carbohydrates on the membrane surface are important in determining the overall bilayer structure. d. The two sides of the plasma membrane have different lipid and protein composition. e. The hydrophilic interior of the membrane is composed primarily of the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids.

Which one of the following statements about membranes is CORRECT? a. The major components of the plasma membrane of plant cells are polysaccharides b. Because of their size, proteins are only found on the inner or outer “face” of the plasma membrane c. The major component of the plasma membranes are lipids covalently bonded together d. Several types of lipids are present in the plasma membranes of animal cells e. The major component of plasma membrane are fatty acids arranged in a bilayer

Which of the following statements about a cell's plasma membrane are TRUE? Choose all that apply. The cell generates its own phospholipids in the rough ER and transports those lipids to the plasma membrane. The cell membrane phospholipids found in eukaryotes is very similar to those found in prokaryotes. Formation of a lipid bilayer in solution results in a -deltaG. The plasma membrane consists of a bilayer of phospholipids that looks like a railroad track and that has the same distance between the phospholipid heads on the outer leaflet and the inner leaflet across the entire cell's surface. In order for vesicles to form from individual phospholipid monomers in solution, energy input is required.
