Proteins and phospholipids are the major ones but other components are carbohydrates and small amounts of cholesterol.
phospholipids, and proteins
Phospholipids and proteins
Proteins are a major constituent of biomembranes, accounting for as much as 50% of the volume. The primary molecules found in biological membranes around cells are lipids (biological fat or wax molecules).
A Nucleotide are molecules that when combined make the structural units of DNA and RNA. An actual nucleotide is made up of small components. These components are; Phosphates Sugar Heterocyclic Base
1. nucleic acids: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). These molecules carry genetic information or form structures within the cells. 2. Proteins: alcohol dehydrogenase (an enzyme), and actin & myosin (structural proteins). Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions in the body, while some proteins have structural or mechanical functions, such as actin and myosin in muscles. 3. carbohydrates: glycogen (storage of energy) and cartilidge in animals (structural components). 4. lipids: structural components of cell membranes, energy storage sources and intermediates in signaling pathways. Cholesterol, Vitamins A, D, E and K. BKM :)
Sugar molecules move outside of the membrane.
Lipids and Proteins
Lipids have various functions within the body. They store energy, act as the structural components of cell membranes, and act as signaling molecules.
all animal cell membranes
why are cholesterol molecules important components of cell membranes
In animals, they are primarily energy storage molecules, although there are a lot of polysaccharide chains that do many extremely important jobs on the membranes of body cells. In plants, they are not only very important food storage molecules (starch), they also serve as structural materials (cellulose) and components in wood.

The basic structure of all membranes is the same. They are composed of two layers of phospholipid molecules, associated with other molecules including proteins, carbohydrates and cholesterol. I hope this helps.

receptor molecules on cell membranes receptor molecules on cell membranes
yes lipids are workers of the cell because The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes. ... Lipids also encompass molecules such as fatty acids and their derivatives (including tri-, di-, monoglycerides, and phospholipids), as well as other sterol-containing metabolites such as cholesterol.
No
Proteins and lipids don't have cell membranes but are the molecules that make up the bulk of what a cell membrane is.
