Question

while the lipid bilayer makes up the majority of the cell membrane, the cell membrane is not made of only phospholipids. a variety of molecules are embedded in the lipid bilayer. these molecules can move around among the phospholipids. for this reason, scientists often describe the cell membrane as a fluid mosaic. this diagram shows a fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. diagram of fluid mosaic model of cell membrane what types of molecules make up the cell membrane? select all that apply. nucleic acids carbohydrates lipids proteins submit work it out not feeling ready yet? these can help:

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the molecules in the cell membrane, we analyze the diagram and text:

  • The diagram shows "phospholipids" (a lipid), "carbohydrate groups" (carbohydrates), "integral proteins" and "peripheral protein" (proteins), and "cholesterol (lipid)".
  • Nucleic acids (like DNA/RNA) are not part of the cell membrane structure. So the correct molecules are carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.

Answer:

B. carbohydrates, C. lipids, D. proteins
