The cell membrane is primarily strengthened by a combination of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins. Phospholipids form a bilayer that provides structural integrity, while cholesterol interspersed within the bilayer enhances fluidity and stability, preventing the membrane from becoming too rigid or too permeable. Additionally, membrane proteins contribute to strength by facilitating cell signaling and maintaining the membrane's structural framework. Together, these components create a resilient barrier that supports cellular function.

Which molecule in animal plasma membranes stiffens and strengthens the membrane?

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.
