Proteins.
They are proteinacious .
Of the major biomolecules, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids, only nucleic acids are not present in cell membranes. Lipids make up the bilayer; proteins craete pumps and channels; carbohydrates are part of glycoproteins but no RNA or DNA is present.
Cell membranes are made up of a double layer of lipids with proteins embedded in them. These proteins act as channels and pumps that control the movement of substances in and out of the cell. The membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some substances to pass through while blocking others. This helps maintain the cell's internal environment and regulate the flow of nutrients and waste products.

These channels and pumps are typically made of proteins that are embedded within the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These proteins are specialized to facilitate the transport of specific molecules or ions across the membrane through various mechanisms such as active transport, facilitated diffusion, or ion channels.
The cell membrane containing channels and pumps that help move materials is known as the plasma membrane. It is made of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that facilitate the transport of ions and molecules in and out of the cell.

Yes -- plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose, instead of cell membranes.
The endoplasmic reticulum moves substances through the cell within channels made of membranes. The cytoplasm also moves substances and organelles through cytoplasmic streaming
Yes, hydrophobic molecules can cross cell membranes because cell membranes are made up of a phospholipid bilayer that is permeable to nonpolar molecules like hydrophobic ones.
No, fats are not the major material from which cell membranes are made. Cell membranes are primarily composed of phospholipids, which have a lipid component but also include a phosphate group. While dietary fats can contribute to the lipid portion of cell membranes, they are not the major material used for their construction.
