Question

Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? Select the three correct statements.-Because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.-The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.-The kinky tails of some proteins help keep the membrane fluid by preventing the component molecules from packing solidly together.-Membranes include a mosaic, or mix, of carbohydrates embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.-The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.

Answer 1

Answer:

-Because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.

-The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.

-The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.
