The lipid components of cellular membranes often include phospholipids and cholesterol. Phospholipids is made up of glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate and organic derivatives such phospho inositol and choline. Cholesterol is the component of the membrane lipid which determine the fluidity of the memebrane; it also participates in membrane singalling system.

The lipid components of the cellular membranes mainly include phospholipids, glycolipids, phosphoglycerides, fatty acid, cholesterol, and sphingolipids.

Further Explanation:

The bilayer is a structure through which the cell membrane maintains the cytoplasm inside the cell and extracellular fluid around the cell. Phospholipids are the basic foundation of the structure of the plasma membrane. In the plasma membrane, the phospholipids are present in the bilayer. The hydrophilic portion is an aqueous surrounding of the cytoplasm. The hydrophobic tail and extracellular fluid are pack inside and can easily be protected from the aqueous environment of the membrane.

Cholesterol is a kind of hydrophobic molecule that is mainly there in the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid bilayer. They are present in the core of a membrane. Fatty acids are mainly joined to glycerol and make triacylglycerides, diacylglycerides, and monoacylglycosides. Sphingolipids and Glycolipids are also present in the membrane. Sphingolipids have sphingosine instead of glycerol. They both play a significant part in the fluidity of the membrane.

PLEASE HELP ASAP<br><br> how does the ribosome read the mRNA?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A ribosome is made up of two basic pieces: a large and a small subunit. During translation, the two subunits come together around a mRNA molecule, forming a complete ribosome. The ribosome moves forward on the mRNA, codon by codon, as it is read and translated into a polypeptide (protein chain).
