| Description: The basic framework of a plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer. Proteins are inserted into the membrane and can be bound on the surface to other proteins or to lipids. Proteins and lipids, which have covalently bound carbohydrate, are called glycoproteins and glycolipids, respectively. Sterols (such as cholesterol in animal cells) can be inserted into the bilayer and modify its fluidity.
