Do eukaryotic plasma membranes contain cholesterol which makes the membrane more stable?

Yes, it does make the membrane more stable because the cholesterol is wedged into the bilayer squeezing it and stabilizing the phospholipid and keeping the membrane fluid below 37 degrees celcius.

Do eukaryotes in animal cells have cell membranes?
All eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane.
Why do animal cell membranes have different shapes then plant cell membranes?
Because the animal cells contain cholesterol as the major sterol in the plasma membrane whereas in plant cells the plasma membrane contain stigmasterol as the major sterol. How could you not know this? Are you a 1st grader?
Are sponges prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
Sponges are Eukaryotic. They are multicellular, and their cells contain membrane-bound organelles.
What types of membranes found in the human body does NOT contain epithelial tissue?
synovial membrane
What structure do eukaryotes have in their cell?
Eukaryotic cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus.
Which best describes a difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes

Similarities between eukaryote and prokaryote?
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells both have a double layered cell membrane and they both contain DNA.
WHAT BEST DESCRIBES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROKARYOTIC AND EUKARYOTIC CELLS?
Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes
Are sponges prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
Sponges are Eukaryotic. They are multicellular, and their cells contain membrane-bound organelles.
Do red blood cell membranes contain cholesterol?
Yes. All cell membranes do. It makes them flexible.
Is cell membrane in eukaryotic cell?
Yes. All cells contain a cell membrane.
Is the brain made of cholesterol?
Yes, because they consist of many membranes which are rich in cholesterol.
Three things both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have?
The similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are; They both contain ribosomes They are both enclosed by plasma membranes They are both filled with cytoplasm and they both have DNA.
The simple cells with no membranes are?
First off there are no simple cells that have no membranes, As the simple cells are prokaryotic cells- these cells contrain a cytoplast,and a cell membrane, the other type of cells are eukaryotic cells- these cells contain a cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, and in some cell walls, and mithrocondria, and some have chloroplasts, and they also have Endoplasmic reticilumns, and a Golgi apparatus in most, and they have vacouls. so therefore there are no cells that do not contain a membrane
