In a biological membrane (below, right), some components exhibit limited lateral mobility in the plane of the membrane, and other components move laterally quite rapidly. Which one of the following best describes a component of the membrane which can move laterally very rapidly?
a) Phospholipids that are covalently bound to the extracellular matrix.
b)Membrane proteins that are bound to the internal cytoskeleton.
c) Proteins that are integral membrane proteins.
d) Glycoproteins that are in the membrane.
e) Phospholipids that are in the membrane.
Thanks guys! I already have an answer in my mind, but I just want to confirm it.
