Explanation

The primary type of lipid present in the plasma membrane is phospholipids.

They form the fundamental structure of the membrane, creating a bilayer that is essential for membrane function and fluidity.

Explanation

The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

This model illustrates the membrane as a dynamic and flexible structure with various proteins floating in or on the fluid lipid bilayer.

Explanation

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is produced and secreted by the parathyroid glands, which are located behind the thyroid gland in the neck.
