Which statement best describes a direct result of damage to a phospholipid bilayer?
the balance of ions inside a cell will be disrupted and proteins could leak out because the phospholipid bilayer forms the cell membrane.
energy storage will be disrupted because the phospholipid bilayer is responsible for storing energy in the body.
chemical messages could not be sent to different parts of the body because the phospholipid bilayer forms hormones.
a person would be vulnerable to disease because the phospholipid bilayer to fight infections in the body.

The correct answer is the first statement.

Explanation:

Phospholipids make the fundamental composition of a cell membrane, that is, bilayer of a lipid. The membranes in cells are the phospholipid bilayers that acts as a barrier and prevents the movement of ions and large molecules through the cell membrane.  

Any destruction to cell membranes results in an unusual flux of ion and dysfunction of organelles. Therefore, due to damage to a phospholipid bilayer, the balance of the ions within a cell will get disturbed and the proteins could get leak out as the phospholipid bilayer produces the outer covering of the cell membrane.
