Question

question 4 of 13
how should the indicated parts of the diagram be labeled?
a = glycoprotein, b = peripheral protein, c = cholesterol, d = phospholipid bilayer
a = glycolipid, b = integral protein, c = oligosaccharide, d = phospholipid bilayer
a = cholesterol, b = oligosaccharide, c = glycolipid, d = transmembrane protein
a = glycolipid, b = glycoprotein, c = cholesterol, d = phospholipid bilayer
a = glycoprotein, b = peripheral protein, c = glycolipid, d = fatty acid tails

Explanation:

• Glycolipids (A) are lipids with attached carbohydrate chains.
• Integral proteins (B) are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer.
• Cholesterol (C) is a lipid molecule that helps maintain membrane fluidity.
• The phospholipid bilayer (D) forms the basic structure of the membrane.

Answer:

A = glycolipid, B = integral protein, C = cholesterol, D = phospholipid bilayer
