Correct answer: C. 60-80%
- A. 20-40%
- B. 40-50%
- C. 60-80%
- D. 80-100%
Explanation
Membrane composition varies among cell types, but proteins commonly make up about 60 to 80 percent of the membrane's dry mass because they form channels, carriers, receptors and structural components. Students may choose 40 to 50 percent by recalling an approximate lipid percentage rather than the protein proportion.
