The four major phospholipids present in plasma membrane of mammalian cells are:
1. Phosphatidylcholine
2. Phosphatidylethanolamine
3. Phosphatidylserine
4. Sphingomyelin.

The plasma membrane is composed mostly of phospholipids
No, peripheral steroids are not part of the plasma membrane. Peripheral steroids are molecules found in the cytoplasm and do not directly interact with the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is primarily composed of phospholipids, proteins, and cholesterol.
Yes, the cell membrane is made up of two layers of phospholipids called a lipid bilayer. These phospholipids have hydrophobic tails that face inward and hydrophilic heads that face outward, providing the structure of the membrane.
Small, uncharged molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide are permeable to phospholipids in the plasma membrane, while ions such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and chloride (Cl-) are not permeable due to their charge.
Lipids, specifically phospholipids, are hydrophobic like the interior of the plasma membrane. The tails of phospholipids are non-polar and repel water, making them ideal for forming the hydrophobic interior of the membrane.
The plasma membrane is the bi-layer of phospholipids the encompass the cell. It is made of phospholipids, protiens, and sugars.
