Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cell membrane is made mostly of
A
phospholipid monolayer and proteins
B
phospholipid bilayer and proteins
C
proteins and carbohydrates bilayer
D
triglycerides and carbohydrates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Part of the cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, made of two layers of phospholipid molecules. However, the cell membrane also contains other macromolecules like membrane proteins, and carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like all other cellular membranes, the plasma membrane consists of both lipids and proteins. The fundamental structure of the membrane is the phospholipid bilayer, which forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments.

Detailed explanation-3: -What Are Cellular Membranes Made Of? With few exceptions, cellular membranes-including plasma membranes and internal membranes-are made of glycerophospholipids, molecules composed of glycerol, a phosphate group, and two fatty acid chains.

Detailed explanation-4: -The formation of biological membranes is based on the properties of lipids, and all cell membranes share a common structural organization: bilayers of phospholipids with associated proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The cell membrane is composed of two layers, the inner and outer phospholipid layers.
