Refer to the table below. Which statement about biological membranes is supported by these data?
A) All membranes share a similar fluid mosaic structure but are able to perform diverse functions because of differences in their membrane proteins.
B) Biological membranes consist of a lipid bilayer with the hydrophobic tails of lipids facing inward and hydrophilic groups facing outward.
C) Membranes in cells are dynamic structures in which both lipid and protein components can move laterally throughout the plane of the membrane.
D) Proteins are embedded within the lipid bilayer of most biological membranes asymmetrically, with more proteins present in the layer closer to the cytoplasm.
E) Carbohydrate groups extend outward from the lipid bilayer of biological membranes, protruding into either the cytoplasm or the external environment.
