The plasma membrane of eukaryotes differ from that of bacteria in having:
Correct answer: C. Cholesterol
- A. Peptidoglycan
- B. Respiratory enzymes
- C. Cholesterol
- D. Phospholipids
Explanation
Cholesterol is a lipid molecule that is an essential component of the plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells. It is primarily found in the animal kingdom, as plants have different types of sterols. Cholesterol plays a crucial role in maintaining the fluidity and stability of the plasma membrane, allowing it to function properly. It helps regulate membrane permeability and protects the membrane from extreme temperatures.
