The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids are a type of lipid. Proteins are also present in the cell membrane but are not the main structural component. Carbohydrates are attached to proteins or lipids on the cell membrane surface but are not the main building block. Nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) are not part of the cell membrane structure.
