A) consist of a phospholipid bilayer composed of a variety of fatty acids.
B) consist of protein molecules embedded in a fluid bilayer of phospholipids.
C) consist of a single...
4) When biological membranes are frozen and then fractured, they tend to break along
the middle of the bilayer. The best explanation for this is that
A) the integral membrane proteins are not strong enough to hold the bilayer together.

C) They occur in an uninterrupted bilayer, with membrane proteins restricted to the
surface of the membrane.
