Is cholesteol made up by the body?
Yes, our liver and intestines produce cholesterol and cholesterol can also be found in our cell membranes. According to the handout I got from my 9th grade Biology teacher, cholesterol "plays an important role in buffering the temperature-dependent fluidity of lipid bilayers by stiffening them at warmer temperatures but increasing fluidity at lower temperatures". So basically cholesterol helps maintain body heat.
Are flattened membranes that package cellular substances?
The flattened membranes that package cellular substances for transport are made of a double layer of phospholipids. They are the same as the cell membrane itself except for the proteins and cholesterol molecules.
