Question

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Plant and animal cells contain plasma membrane.
  2. Cell membrane has a bilipid layer.
  3. Plasma membrane is rigid.
  4. Cell membrane is flexible.

hintHint:

The cell membrane is not a solid structure. It is made of millions of smaller molecules that create a flexible and porous container. Proteins and phospholipids make up most of the membrane structure.

The correct answer is: Plasma membrane is rigid.


    • The long hydrocarbon chains of the fatty acids, therefore, move freely in the interior of the membrane, so the membrane itself is soft and flexible.
    • In addition, both phospholipids and proteins are free to diffuse laterally within the membrane a property that is critical for many membrane functions.
