question 10 of 32
the two major components of cell membranes are ____ and ____.
☐ phospholipids
☐ proteins
☐ peptidoglycan
☐ dna
☐ carbohydrates
Cell membranes are primarily composed of a phospholipid bilayer (the structural framework) and embedded/attached proteins (which perform various functions like transport, signaling). Peptidoglycan is a cell wall component, DNA is genetic material, and carbohydrates are minor membrane components (often attached to lipids/proteins), so they are not the two major components.
