Which statement best describes a direct result of damage to a phospholipid bilayer? The balance of ions inside a cell will be di

srupted and proteins could leak out because the phospholipid bilayer forms the cell membrane. Energy storage will be disrupted because the phospholipid bilayer is responsible for storing energy in the body. Chemical messages could not be sent to different parts of the body because the phospholipid bilayer forms hormones. A person would be vulnerable to disease because the phospholipid bilayer helps to fight infections in the body.

Answer:

Option A, The balance of ions inside a cell will be disrupted and proteins could leak out because the phospholipid bilayer forms the cell membrane.

Explanation:

The bi layers of phospholipid are held together by non-covalent bonds. These phospholipids consists of a hydrophilic head group which is  attached to a hydrophobic acyl chains. Breaking of phospholipid bilayer would disrupt the fluidity of the membrane and thus there shall be no  spontaneous breaking and reforming of membranes. Instead the balance between the molecules/ions  surrounding the head of the bi-layer will get disturbed and the proteins that were restrained earlier due to bilayer will now be free for leakage.

Hence, option A is correct

mestny [16]

The correct answer is Includes the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum.

The endomembrane systemrepresents a group of membranes and organelles that works together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins. It exists in eukaryotic cells only. The endomembrane system does not include all the organelles, like mitochondria, chloroplasts, or peroxisomes.
