Answer:

The plasma membrane is the thin, flexible boundary between a cell and its environment. Plasma membranes with less cholesterol will have decreased fluidity at low temperatures and higher fluidity at high temperatures compared to the membrane with more cholesterol. This is because it prevents the fatty acid tails from sticking together!
