Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? Select the three correct statements. 1 The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center. 2 The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions. 3 The kinky tails of some proteins help keep the membrane fluid by preventing the component molecules from packing solidly together. 4 Membranes include a mosaic, or mix, of carbohydrates embedded in a phospholipid bilayer. 5 Because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.
