Functions of Phospolipids, Cholesterol, Glycolipids, Glycoprotein, and Proteins in Cell Membrane

Phospolipid : To form micelles surroundd by water, forming bi-layers and the permeability of one cell.
Cholesterol : it gave signal to other membranes to actually work together. It provides mechanical stability to the membranes.
Glycoproteins and Glycolipids : They form hydrogen bonds from water molecules surrounding the cells, stabilizing it. It is also work as a membrane receptor.
Proteins : providing hydrophilic channels through the bi-layer for ions and polar molecules to pass through.
