Which structure consists of two lipid bilayers folded together as a single membrane?

A) cell wall
B) cell membrane
C) nuclear envelope
D) ribosome
E) Golgi body

Nuclear Envelope

The double membrane structure that surrounds the nucleus in eukaryotic cells, controlling the flow of substances in and out of the nucleus.

Lipid Bilayers

Thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules. These layers are fundamental in the structure of cell membranes, providing barriers and pathways for substances.

  • Comprehend the variability in structure and function of cell membranes and their constituents.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayers folded together as a single membrane. The outer membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum, while the inner membrane encloses the nucleus and contains nuclear pores for the transport of molecules in and out of the nucleus. The cell wall and cell membrane are both single lipid bilayers, while ribosomes and the Golgi body are not membrane-bound structures.
