The nuclear envelope is built from:
AOne phospholipid bilayer
BTwo phospholipid bilayers
COne layer of pure protein
DTwo layers of pure protein
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Two phospholipid bilayers
1. The nuclear envelope is the boundary of the nucleus.
2. It is not a single membrane.
3. It consists of two phospholipid bilayers, an outer membrane and an inner membrane.
4. Protein-only options are wrong because every cell membrane is built on a lipid bilayer.
