Eukaryotic Cells Add Rigidity to Their Plasma Membrane by Including

Question

Eukaryotic cells add rigidity to their plasma membrane by including what component in the membrane
A)Protein
B)Lipids
C)Sugars
D)Sterols

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic cells add rigidity to their plasma membrane by including sterols (such as cholesterol) in the membrane. These sterols help to stabilize the membrane and prevent it from becoming too fluid or too rigid. Proteins, lipids, and sugars are also present in the plasma membrane but do not contribute significantly to its rigidity.
