The cell membrane of a neuron is a double layer made up of:
A)Protein and connective tissue
B)Protein and lipid (fat)
C)Lipid (fat)and connective tissue
D)Intracellular material and extracellular material

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell membrane of a neuron, like all cells, is composed of a double layer of lipids (fats) with proteins embedded within the layer. This double layer of lipids is commonly referred to as the phospholipid bilayer. The proteins within the membrane serve various functions, such as transport of molecules in and out of the cell and cell signaling. Connective tissue and intracellular and extracellular materials are not part of the cell membrane structure.
