What is the role of cholesterol in animal cell membranes?

#Bio-Informatics
  1. Blocks the association of the fatty acyl chains of phospholipids at high temperature.

  2. Aids in the transport of small hydrophobic molecules across the membrane.

  3. Is a receptor site for hormones on the surface of membranes.

#Biochemistry

The phosphate transport system in bacteria imports phosphate into the cell even when the concentration of phosphate outside the cell is much lower than the cytoplasmic phosphate concentration. Phosphate import depends on a pH gradient across the membrane—more acidic outside the cell than inside the cell. In this bacterial cell, phosphate transport is an example of:

In some cells, there are many ion electrochemical gradients across the plasma membrane even though there are usually only one or two proton pumps present in the membrane. The gradients of the other ions are most likely accounted for by:
