ANSWER: 2) Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, cholesterol and carbohydrates.

EXPLANATION:

  • it's a bilayer because there are 2 layers (bi) - the inside layer is made of hydrophobic fatty acid tails, while the outer layer is made up of hydrophilic polar heads that are pointed toward the water.
  • carbohydrates are found on the exterior surface of cells.
  • cholesterol is another word for fatty substance and is found alongside phospholipids in the core of the membrane.
