Cellular memberane are mainly constructed of a phospholipid bilayer with emnedden cholesterol and proteins. Tues or False

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction 

The cellular membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a thin and semi-permeable layer that surrounds the cell, separating the internal environment of the cell from the external environment. The membrane plays a critical role in maintaining the cell's integrity by regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell, and by facilitating communication and interaction with neighboring cells and the extracellular environment.
