4. Gorter and Grendel

The fluid nature of the membrane is also important from the point of view of functions like

1. cell growth

2. secretion

3. cell division

4. All of the above

The ability to move within the membrane is measured as its

(1)liquidity

(2)fluidity

(3)viscosity

(4)stability

In human beings, the membrane of erythrocyte has

Integral or Peripheral proteins classification is based on

Read the following statements carefully
A. Lipid component of the plasma membrane mainly consists of phosphoglycerides.
B. Polar molecules can pass through the lipid bilayer of plasma membrane, therefore they do not require carrier proteins to facilitate their transport.
C. Secondary wall is capable of growth and it is formed on the outer side of the cell
D. Quasi fluid nature of lipid enables lateral movement of proteins within the overall lipid bilayer of plasma membrane
E. Middle lamella glues the different neighbouring cells together
