Question

Phospholipids provide the specific functions of the plasma membrane true or false

Answer 1

Phospholipids provide the specific functions of the plasma membrane.

The statement is FALSE.

Reasoning:

The phospholipids are the main component of the cell membrane. Plasma membrane consists of both lipids and proteins.

Phospholipids do not have the specific capability. They form a bilayer that is largely impermeable to water-soluble molecules. Proteins embedded within the phospholipids bilayer carry out the specific functions of the plasma membrane, including selective transport of molecules and cell-cell recognition.

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be false.

The phospholipid is only providing a wall in the cell membrane. They didn't have a specific capability. But there are some protein or canal that will work like doors or windows that will allow the exchange of some kind of specific material.
