The five main components of the cell membrane are:
Phospholipids: They are the most abundant type of lipid molecules found in the membrane and form a bilayer with hydrophilic heads facing outwards and hydrophobic tails facing inwards.
Cholesterol: It is a type of lipid molecule that helps to maintain the fluidity and stability of the membrane.
Proteins: They are embedded within the membrane and perform various functions such as transport, signaling, and enzymatic activities.
Carbohydrates: They are present on the outer surface of the membrane and play a role in cell-cell recognition and communication.
Glycolipids: They are lipids with attached carbohydrate groups that also help in cell-cell recognition.
