Which statement about the composition of biological membranes is FALSE? Question 10 options: In a given eukaryotic cell type (e.g., a hepatocyte), all intracellular membranes have essentially the same complement of lipids and proteins. The carbohydrate found in membranes is virtually all part of either glycolipids or glycoproteins. The plasma membranes of the cells of vertebrate animals contain more cholesterol than the mitochondrial membranes. The ratio of lipid to protein varies widely among cell types in a single organism. Triacylglycerols are not commonly found in membranes.

The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer constituted of phospholipids and cholesterol. The membrane also…
