  • A. Plasma membrane has lipid bilayer sandwiched between two outer layer of protein.
  • B. Proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer
  • C. Plasma membrane has charged pores for transport of materials which cannot penetrate through the lipid bilayer
  • D. All of the above

Explanation

It was proposed earlier that a cell membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer sandwiched between inner and outer layers of protein. This, basic structure is called the unit membrane and is present in all the cellular organelles.
