Question
Name the molecules which contribute to the flexibility exhibited by the plasma membrane.
✓
Answer
Lipid bilayer contributes to the flexibility exhibited by the plasma membrane.
Explaination:
According to fluid modaic model, cell membrane is made of lipid bilayer with protein molecules embedded in between (like a sandwich).
Lipid molecules make the cell membrane elastic & in turn flexible.
Protein channels help in transport of substances across membrane.
