Best Answer

Viruses are not organized as cells and therefore do not contain cell membranes. However, certain animal viruses are found enveloped with a phospholipid outer coat

Do all cell membrane contain cholesterol?

Yes, all cells contain cell membrane, like animal and plant cell. But not all cells contain cell wall, this is why such cells contain cell membrane. Cell membrane, and without the cell wall, protect the things going in and out of a cell, like nutrients and oxygen in, and waste and carbon dioxide out. Cell membrane could also be described as a "wall for the house" which is the cell. Yes they do. The cell membrane keeps the cell together. With out it, all the organelles would fall out. Animal cell membrane is circular but has a very hard to figure out shape. It is mostly just random. Plant cells however, have an almost perfect rectangle for cells.
