Question

What is the function of the lipid bilayer in a cell membrane? Check all that apply.

1)to allow the cell to regulate the movement of substances into and out of the cell

2) to assist with the formation of new molecules by reading the genetic information stored in DNA

3)to keep the cell contents separated from the outside environment

4)to carry out almost all of the thousands of chemical reactions that take place in cells

Answer 1

Lipid bilayer in case of all cell membrane it is a universal component . It plays a critical role because its structure components provide the barrier for the boundaries of cell. The lipid bilayer functioning as a barrier in the cell membrane.

Lipid bilayer has a high impermeable structure only water and gaseous can pass easily through the bilayer

It may allow to regulate the memat of substance in cell and also keep the cell contents separated from the outside
