Question

most of the surface area of the plasma membrane consists of ______. glycoproteins proteins phospholipids cholesterol i dont know yet

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The plasma membrane's structure is mainly composed of a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids form the basic framework, occupying most of the membrane's surface area. Glycoproteins have specific functions like cell recognition, proteins are embedded or attached but not the majority in terms of surface area, and cholesterol is a minor component for membrane fluidity. So the correct option is phospholipids.

Answer:

C. phospholipids
