What makes up half the mass of a membrane?
The cell membrane plays host to a large amount of protein that is responsible for its various activities. The amount of protein differs between species and according to function, however the typical amount in a cell membrane is 50%.
In the plasma membrane of a cell a receptor has what function?
im not 100% sure, im actually researching it now, but i found out that a receptor protein transmits messages across the cell membrane.

What is an example cell membrane?
Protein, because thats what the cell membrane does (delivers protein to the cell)
Is protein sythesis a function made by the cell membrane?
No, the site of protein synthesis is the ribosomes, free and bound. The ribosome is the " workbench " on which proteins are made. Proteins can be imbedded in the membrane and can span the membrane.

The function of the cell membrane is to control what enters and leaves the cell.
