Question:

The plasma (cell) membrane

Answer:

is composed of a bilayer of phospholipids.

Step-by-step explanation:

The principal components of the plasma membrane are lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins, and carbohydrate groups that are attached to some of the lipids and proteins. A phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group.
