Respuesta :

Answer:

Ans:

*Carbohydrates

*Proteins

*Cholesterol

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a structure that has several distinct roles in the cell

The plasma membrane is mainly composed of the phospholipid Bilayer, which is a layer of two sheets located in the internal and external parts. The Phospholipids are said to be Amphipathic because they have both properties of Hydrophobic and hydrophilic

*The Carbohydrate Molecules attach to the Plasma Membrane such as to the lipids and Proteins:

when They attach to the Proteins, they are known as glycoproteins, and they help in cell recognition, when they attach to the lipids, they are known as Glycolipids

*Protein Molecules play an important role in transport system such as Carrier Proteins

*Cholesterol Molecules help in balancing the Fluidity of the plasma membrane
