Lipids play a major role in the structure of cell membranes. Which of the following statements best supports this claim?
A Lipids allow water to freely pass through by forming a hydrophilic bilayer.
B Lipids can be stored in tissues to serve as a source of energy in case of starvation.
C Lipids create a thin hydrophobic layer that helps maintain selective permeability.
D Lipids assist in membrane transport by creating carriers for molecules that are too large
or too charged to pass through the membrane on their own.
