Cholesterol
The main 'component' of the Cell's membranes are fatty acids, also known as lipids.
Yes. All cell membranes do. It makes them flexible.
part of the cell
Cell membranes are mainly composed of phospholipids. A phospholipid is a phosphate group with a fatty acid tail. Proteins are also present in cell membranes.
Proteins!

The endoplasmic reticulum makes membranes and processes proteins in a cell. There are two types: rough endoplasmic reticulum (with ribosomes attached for protein synthesis) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification).
A double layer of phospholipids makes up most of your cell membranes.
Cholesterol makes up an important part of cell membrane.

Cholesterol is a steroid that plays a key role in the structure and function of cell membranes. It helps maintain membrane fluidity and stability, and is also a precursor for the synthesis of other important molecules such as steroid hormones.
