Question

which of the following best describes the role of phospholipids? a phospholipids provide structural stability to animal cell membranes. b phospholipids support physiological functions, including growth. c phospholipids provide energy storage and support cell function. d phospholipids form the lipid bilayer found in cell membranes.

Explanation:

Phospholipids are the main components that form the lipid - bilayer structure of cell membranes. Cholesterol provides structural stability to animal cell membranes. Fats are for energy storage. While phospholipids are involved in some physiological functions, their most fundamental role is in membrane formation.

Answer:

D. Phospholipids form the lipid bilayer found in cell membranes.
