Practice problem
Which of the following is false concerning the plasma membrane?
Another term for the plasma membrane is the phospholipid bilayer.
Only small and uncharged molecules are capable of passing through the plasma membrane without assistance from proteins.
The plasma membrane is composed of more than just phospholipids, There are also proteins and a host of other molecules which assist in cellular function and communication.
The phosphate head is hydrophobic and therefore is attracted to water, while the lipid tails are hydrophilic and therefore repel water.
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
