Question 7 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

Which macromolecule forms a double layer as the primary structure of cell membranes?

Answer
A
oils
B
phospholipids
C
steroids
D
fats

Explanation

Cell membranes are primarily built from a phospholipid bilayer, meaning two layers of phospholipid molecules. Their water-attracting heads face the watery environments inside and outside the cell, while their water-repelling tails point inward toward each other. Therefore, phospholipids are the correct choice.
