To perform these roles, it needs lipids, which make a Semi-permeable bartier betwean the cell and ils environment. it also needs proteins. which are involved in crass-membrane transport and cell communication, and carbohydrates sugars and suger chaing), which decorate both the proteins and lipids and help cells recognize each ather.
