1. Which of the following best describes the primary function of the cell membrane?
To produce energy for the cell.
To store genetic information.
To regulate the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
To provide structural support for the cell.
2. The 'fluid mosaic model' describes the cell membrane as:
A rigid, static structure.
A phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move laterally.
A solid layer of proteins.
Primarily composed of carbohydrates.
