What is true about the structure or function of the plasma membrane?

A: The processes of endocytosis and exocytosis occur here.

B: Hydrophilic molecules attract the water the cell requires.

C: The double layer prevents anything from entering the cell.

D: It is made entirely of integral proteins.

"C: The double layer prevents anything from entering the cell." is your answer the plasma membrane is on the outer portion of a cell to protect the insides of that cell.

A true fact about the structure or function of the plasma membrane is; Choice B: Hydrophilic molecules attract the water the cell requires.

The lipids(more specifically phospholipids) found in plasma membrane are made up of two parts: the hydrophilic (water soluble) and hydrophobic (water insoluble).

The hydrophobic portion of the lipids is the non-polar long hydrocarbon chains of two fatty acids.

The polar or even ionic portion of the lipids is the phosphate ester portion of hence is water soluble(hydrophilic)

Three major components of the plasma membrane are lipids ( phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins, and carbohydrates.

The primary function of the plasma membrane is to serve as a boundary between the cell and the extracellular surroundings.

As a result of its composition of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and regulates the transfer of substances in and out of cells.
