Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most bacterial plasma membranes do not contain cholesterol, which is a characteristic of eukaryotic plasma membranes. Bacterial plasma membranes are composed of a phospholipid bilayer, contain proteins, and are selectively permeable, but they are not a site of energy production. Energy production in bacteria typically occurs in the cytoplasm or specialized structures such as mitochondria or chloroplasts in certain bacterial species.
