In eukaryotic cells, the term "nuclear envelope" is more correct than the term "nuclear membrane" for the enclosure around nucleus because:
1. the enclosure has pores which membranes do not
2. the enclosure is made up of two membranes
3. the chemical composition is inconsistent with cellular membranes
4. the enclosure does not enclose the nucleolus

The number of correct statements regarding the structure of a typical animal cell membrane is:
I: It is mainly composed of lipids and proteins.
II: The major lipids are phospholipids, that are arranged in a bilayer.
III: The lipids are arranged within the membrane with the hydrophobic head towards the outer sides and the polar tails towards the inner part.
IV: In addition to phospholipids, membrane also contains cholesterol.
V: Peripheral proteins lie on the surface of membrane while the integral proteins are partially or totally buried in the membrane
