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 cell membrane consists of three classes of amphipathic lipids: phospholipids, glycolipids, and sterols. The amount of each depends upon the type of cell, but in the majority of cases phospholipids are the most abundant. In RBC studies, 30% of the plasma membrane is lipid. Plasma membranes also contain carbohydrates, predominantly glycoproteins, but with some glycolipids (cerebrosides and gangliosides). For the most part, no glycosylation occurs on membranes within the cell; rather generally glycosylation occurs on the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane.
