All of the following are true about cell membrane lipids except
Amphipathic in nature
Exhibit lateral diffusion along with proteins
Exhibit symmetrical arrangement
Form bilayer
Membrane lipids are amphipathic. Membrane lipids form bilayers. An indicator of the dynamic nature of membranes is that a variety of studies have shown that lipids and ceain proteins exhibit lateral diffusion in the plane of their membranes. There is also inside-outside asymmetry of the phospholipids. The choline-containing phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin) are located mainly in the outer leaflet; the aminophospholipids (phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine) are preferentially located in the inner leaflet. .
