Question
what are the two main components of the cell membrane? phospholipids and proteins cholesterol and proteins carbohydrates and proteins phospholipids and carbohydrates
The cell membrane is a biological structure. Phospholipids form the basic framework (bilayer) of the cell membrane. Proteins are embedded in or associated with this phospholipid bilayer and have various functions like transport, signaling etc. Cholesterol is a component but not one of the two main ones. Carbohydrates are present but usually in smaller amounts and often attached to proteins or lipids (as glycoproteins or glycolipids) rather than being main structural components like phospholipids and proteins.
