Answer
Here are the answers to the questions from the image:
-
The correct answer is D. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and are found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, but they are not a structural component of the cell plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is primarily composed of phospholipids, proteins, and cholesterol.
-
The correct answer is B. Many membrane proteins function as receptors that bind to specific signaling molecules, such as hormones, to transmit information into the cell.
-
The correct answer is A. Lysosomes contain powerful digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses, playing a key role in the cell's defense against disease.
-
The correct answer is B. The statement "It is composed of two layers of glycoproteins molecules" is INCORRECT. The plasma membrane is primarily composed of a phospholipid bilayer, with proteins (including glycoproteins) embedded within or associated with it.
