MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION Which of the following is FALSE about the components found in the plasma membrane? Some membrane proteins have carbohydrate chains attached to them that helps them aid in cell recognition. Integral proteins are sometimes considered transport proteins. Cholesterol helps to maintain flexibility and stability. The layers of phospholipids are arranged so that the heads face inward (interacting with eachother) and the tails face outward (interacting with the environment).
