Some archaea have unique phospholipids in their cytoplasmic membrane that A) form a monolayer due to the presence of diglycerol tetraethers. B) form a bilayer due to the presence of sterols. C) form a stable ring structure due to the presence of crenarchaeol. D) form a bilayer due to the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine.
