alter membrane fluidity
Cholesterol disturbs the rigid arrangement of phospholipids, thus keeping the membrane fluid at low temperatures.
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
Proteins
The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane. It is a biological membrane that separates all cells' interior from the outside, though can be permeated by selection ions and molecules. Its basic function is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
No, cholesterol does not directly function as a hormone receptor in the plasma membrane. Hormone receptors are typically proteins embedded in the membrane that bind specific hormones to initiate signaling pathways. Cholesterol primarily provides structural support and fluidity to the plasma membrane.

All bacteria have a plasma membrane, which is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell and regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell. The plasma membrane is essential for bacterial survival and function.
The plasma membrane allows materials to be transported in and out for function. lol . honestly idk
The carbohydrates help identify chemical signals and define the characteristics of the cell.
