What are the five molecules found in the plasma membrane The KGB Agent answer: Phospholipids form the basic fabric of the plasma membrane, while cholesterol molecules stabilize the membrane. Protein molecules have a variety of functions, including forming pores, at the same time, carbohydrates make the membrane sugar-rich, sticky, and fuzzy.
The more cholesterol in the plasma membrane the more insulative the membrane will be. For example, the myelin sheath membrane (which insulates axons of nerve cells) is about 30% cholesterol, while other mammalian cell membranes may be about 20% cholesterol. Cholesterol helps to stabilize the plasma membrane. typical cell membrane has a composition of: Lipids: 40-60% - arranged in a double lipid bilayer. Protein: 30-50% - proteins which are inserted either partly or completely through bilayer. Carbohydrate: 5-10% - carbohydrates which attach to extracellular fluid (ECF) side.
