A Feature Unique to Some Archaeal Plasma Membranes is That

Question

A feature unique to some archaeal plasma membranes is that they may
A)consist of a lipid bilayer that lacks integral membrane proteins.
B)consist of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins.
C)contain sterols such as cholesterol.
D)consist of a lipid monolayer.

Accepted Answer

Some archaeal plasma membranes consist of a lipid monolayer, which is unique compared to the lipid bilayer found in most other cells. This helps them to maintain stability and function in extreme environments like high temperatures or low pH levels.
