consider your knowledge about the cell membrane and check all of the true statements below. Check All That Apply Cell membranes are present in only two of the three domains of life. Cell membranes are present in only two of the three domains of life. In water, phospholipids spontaneously arrange into a bilayer. In water, phospholipids spontaneously arrange into a bilayer. The area within a phospholipid bilayer, near the fatty acid tails, is hydrophilic. The area within a phospholipid bilayer, near the fatty acid tails, is hydrophilic. Steroids in cell membranes allow the membrane to be more fluid. Steroids in cell membranes allow the membrane to be more fluid. Phospholipid bilayers surround all eukaryotic cells. Phospholipid bilayers surround all eukaryotic cells. Membrane proteins offer structural support to the membrane but have no other function. Membrane proteins offer structural support to the membrane but have no other function. Both plant and animal cell membranes are considered fluid mosaics.

Explanation:

All living things (i.e.. both eukaryotic and eukaryotic organisms) are composed of cells, and all cells have cell membranes. In an aqueous environment, phospholipids spontaneously form bilayers: hydrophilic heads of phospholipids face the water environment at the surface of the bilayer, while hydrophobic fatty acid chains are shielded from the water in the interior. Steroids are lipids that intercalate into the bilayer of the cell plasma membrane, reducing the fluidity of the membrane. Integral membrane proteins may have different biological roles. For example, permeases are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the diffusion of certain molecules (e.g., glucose) across the cell membrane by passive transport. Both plant and animal cell membranes are considered fluid mosaics where different types of molecules (e.g., phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, etc) are constantly moving across the membrane.
