Question

Which statement best describes a direct result of damage to a phospholipid bilayer?

a.The balance of ions inside a cell will be disrupted and proteins could leak out because the phospholipid bilayer forms the cell membrane.
b. Energy storage will be disrupted because the phospholipid bilayer is responsible for storing energy in the body.
c. Chemical messages could not be sent to different parts of the body because the phospholipid bilayer forms hormones.
d. A person would be vulnerable to disease because the phospholipid bilayer helps to fight infections in the body.

Answer 1

The balance of ions inside a cell will be disrupted and proteins could leak out because the phospholipid bilayer forms the cell membrane.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. If a damage to a phospholipid layer happened, then the balance of ions inside a cell will be disrupted and proteins could leak out because the phospholipid bilayer forms the cell membrane. This layer allows and controls the balance of the nutrients that goes on and out  the cell.
