All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. Which statement is NOT an accurate description of a cell membrane? a Regulates what
enters and leaves the cell. b Responsible for the formation of ATP c Provides protection and support for the cell. d Flexible and made up of smaller molecules such as lipids and proteins
The correct answer is - b. Responsible for the formation of ATP
Explanation:
The cell membrane is the outer membrane of all types of the cell including eukaryotic, and prokaryotic cell. The cell membrane surrounds the cytoplasm and cell organelles.
The cell membrane is made up of phospholipids that have a hydrophilic and hydrophobic region in the lipid bilayer. The main function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell, provide support, and regulation what enters and leaves the cell. ATP formation is not produced by the cell membrane.
The energy released is captured in the form of ATP (3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH 2 ). The electron transport chain (ETC) consists of a series of molecules, mostly proteins, embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The glucose required for cellular respiration is produced by plants.
