Question

Name the molecules which contributes to the flexibility exhibited by the plasma membrane

Answer 1

The cell membrane is primarily composed of:
•Proteins
•lipids

=>lipids help to give membranes their flexibility
=>proteins monitor and maintain the cell's chemical climate and assist in the transfer of molecules across the membrane.

Answer 2

Hey Dear,

● 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.

Hope this helps you. Keep asking..
