Methionine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, is an intermediary that helps strengthen cell membranes. The infamous cholesterol that we're often advised to avoid also helps maintain the integrity of cell membranes (and to a lesser degree, the integrity of the membranes of organelles inside the cell).
The cell's plasma membrane is considered a fluid mosaic where the lipid molecules in the bilayer move about in the membrane. However, cell membranes may experience transitions which make their molecules more gel-like or nearly solid.
The lipid you are referring to is cholesterol. Cholesterol is an essential component of animal cell membranes that helps maintain membrane integrity by reducing permeability and providing structural support.
No, cholesterol is part of the cell membrane. Without it the membrane would be too unstable and move too much. The cholesterol "stiffens" the membrane.

I/you/we/they stiffen. He/she/it stiffens.
Boner.
Cellulose is the main polysaccharide that stiffens plant cell walls. It consists of chains of glucose molecules linked together that provide structural support and rigidity to plant cells.
Evading-running from it which stiffens the penalties for whatever else you were doing.
That is called "leather hard" clay
It stiffens and hardens in place so your hair doesn't move
It contains a fast setting glue-like substance that coats and stiffens the hair.
The surgical procedure that fixates or stiffens a joint is called arthrodesis. This operation involves fusing the bones of the joint together to eliminate movement, which can alleviate pain and improve stability. It is commonly performed on joints such as the ankle, wrist, or spine when other treatments have failed.
it will be crumbley. Egg stiffens when cooked and works like glue.
