the primary structural components of the cell membrane are ...
phospholipids and cellulose
phospholipids and proteins
cholesterol and proteins
proteins and cellulose
glycoproteins and cholesterol
Cell membranes are primarily made of a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids form the basic structure, and proteins are embedded in or associated with this bilayer. Cellulose is a component of plant cell walls (not cell membranes). Cholesterol is present in animal cell membranes but is not a primary structural component like phospholipids. Glycoproteins (proteins with attached carbohydrates) are involved in cell - cell recognition but are not the main structural components.
