Transporting other molecules in the body.
To store energy
Plasma membrane gives structure to the cell, serve as boundary. It allows the selective passage of molecules across the cell (semi permeable). Starts the signalling event from the receptors it posses on the membrane surface when there is a stimuli bind to it.
Phospholipids are really just fat cells that exist in our membranes. They serve two very important functions. The most important are they help with temperature control. When the membrane gets cold, the phospholipids keep the membrane from freezing and becoming stiff, and when it gets too hot, they keep the cells form sticking together and melting
Enzymes lower the activation energy for chemical reactions, allowing the reactions to proceed. Enzymes also can serve to bring components of a reaction together in the proper orientation. Enzymes can hydrolyze macromolecules into smaller components, enabling them to be transported across the cell membrane. Without enzymes, many metabolic reactions would not be able to be conducted efficiently, if at all.

as enzymes to control the rate of reactions and regulate cellular activity
Membrane proteins relay signals between the cell's internal and external environments. They transport proteins and move molecules and ions across the membrane. They have many activities such as oxidoreductase, hydrolase or transferase.

In the membrane of a cell, channels serve as passageways.

They may serve specialized functions in the cell including protein synthesis, sequestration of calcium, production of steroids, storage and production of glycogen, and insertion of membrane proteins.
