What causes these molecules in the plasma membrane of the cell lend stability to the membrane and prevent it from becoming less fluid at low tempatures?
Cholesterol molecules and protein molecules help stabilize the cell membranes. Cholesterol prevents lower temperatures from inhibiting the fluidity of the membrane and prevents higher temperatures from increasing fluidity. Cholesterol is only found in animal cells.
What is the function of a cholesterol in the cell membrane?
Cholesterol is found in the membrane. It prevents lower temperatures from inhibiting the fluidity of the membrane and prevents higher temperatures from increasing fluidity. It stabilizes the membrane. Only animal cells have cholesterol in their membranes.
How do lipid or oil get through plasma cell membrane?
Lipids or oil get through plasma membrane because plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane. It allows entry and exit of only some substances through it.
No cell wall only plasma membrane?
animal
Why is the plasma membrane selectively permeable?
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable because it needs to allow certain things in and certain things out.The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane as it allows the entry and exit of some selected substances only.

What is the major component of the plasma membranes?
Most of the membrane is composed of phospholipid molecules. These allow the membrane to be rather fluid (not stiff). Embedded in this membrane are proteins which give some structure to the membrane. The 3rd components are proteins or glycolipids. Cholesterol is also found in the membrane. It prevents lower temperatures from inhibiting the fluidity of the membrane and prevents higher temperatures from increasing fluidity. Cholesterol is only found in animal cells.

Is plasma membrane the feature of eukaryotic cells only?
No.
What do only do eukaryotic?
Plasma membrane, cytoplasm and Nucleus.
No cell wall only plasma membrane?
animal
What are the bad things that are not allowed into a cell?
In an animal cell, the plasma membrane keeps out unwanted objects. In a plant cell, the cell wall does this. Unwanted items would be any foreign unknown object, harmful bacteria, or wastes excreted by other cells. Cells only let in certain things, and they do this through selective permeability. They let in water and sugars and nutrients and other things that the cell requires. They can tell what to let in because proteins attached to the plasma membrane act as signalling devices, telling the plasma membrane whether or not to let something in. Some bacteria trick the plasma membrane into letting them in.
Do chloroplast have bacteria?
no.They are only found in photosynthetic eukariyotes. Plants and algae are examples
