cholesterol

22
Q

the component of the plasma membrane that recognises other cells as foreign or familiar and help cells attach to other cells

A

glycoproteins

23
Q

what are the roles of the plasma membrane?

A

provides protection for the cell, provides a fixed environment, allows nutrients to be transported into the cell and toxic substances out of the cell, isolates cytoplasm from external environment
