Question
The plasma membrane is generally a double layer of __ & __: a. glycogen, proteins b. phospholipids, proteins c. glycoproteins, phospholipids d. lipids, glycoproteins
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The basic structural framework of the plasma membrane is the phospholipid bilayer. Proteins are embedded within or associated with this bilayer, performing various functions like transport and signaling. Glycoproteins and glycolipids are also present but are modified components.
Hint
Think of the two main components: the primary structural molecules (forming the bilayer) and the functional molecules embedded in it.
