Question

multiple choice question which of the following can relatively easily move laterally within the plasma membrane? unanchored proteins only phospholipids only phospholipids and unanchored proteins need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane has a fluid - mosaic structure. Phospholipids can move laterally within the membrane due to the fluid nature of the lipid bilayer. Unanchored proteins (peripheral or those not bound to the cytoskeleton or other structures) can also move laterally in the membrane as they are not restricted. Anchored proteins have restrictions on their movement. So both phospholipids and unanchored proteins can relatively easily move laterally.

Answer:

Phospholipids and unanchored proteins
