Cholesterol is the molecule found in cell membranes that prevents the fatty acid tails of phospholipids from sticking together. It intercalates between the phospholipids, maintaining membrane fluidity and stability across varying temperatures. This function is crucial for proper cellular function and the integrity of the membrane.
the cells would be hard to function and so that cell would be daqmaged
If a membrane protein is unable to bind to a signaling molecule, it may not be able to transmit the intended signal across the cell membrane. This could result in disrupted cellular communication and potentially lead to improper cell function or response to stimuli.
The molecule will be transported across the membrane by way of a transport protein or protein channel.

The molecule that will not pass through the phospholipid bilayer of a membrane is a large and polar molecule.
Cholesterol is the small molecule that decreases the fluidity of the plasma membrane.
