Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These characteristics describe lipid rafts, which are highly ordered and specialized regions within artificial membranes composed primarily of phosphoglycerides. They contain high concentrations of sphingolipids and cholesterol, and certain proteins become concentrated within them. Other answer choices such as "lipid islands" and "dense bilayers" are not commonly used terms in describing membrane organization, and "collections" and "lipid domains" are too general to accurately describe the specific characteristics mentioned in the statement.
