Plasma membrane phospholipids
A) have nonpolar fatty acid tails.
B) form a bilayer.
C) have polar phosphate heads.
D) create a selectively permeable barrier.
E) All of the choices are correct.
Phospholipids
A class of lipids that are a major component of all cell membranes, as they can form lipid bilayers.
Bilayer
Often refers to the lipid bilayer, a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules, forming the basic structure of cell membranes.
Permeable Barrier
A structure or material that allows the passage of particles, such as liquids or gases, through itself while blocking others, based on size, shape, or other properties.
