Generally accepted features of the biological membrane include all of the following, except
Options
- AAsymmetric arrangement of lipids
- BRapid diffusion of inorganic ions across lipid bilayer
- CIt comprises of both intrinsic and extrinsic proteins
- DLateral diffusion of integral and peripheral proteins
Correct answer
B. Rapid diffusion of inorganic ions across lipid bilayer
Step-by-step solution
Polar substances because of charge cannot cross membrane easily. Only lipid-soluble substances can move across the membrane rapidly because of their hydrophobic nature. Special protein is needed to make ions to cross the membrane
