Solution

The components that would be found in the membrane of an animal cell are:

  1. Cholesterol molecules: These are crucial for maintaining the fluidity and integrity of the cell membrane.

  2. Embedded proteins: These proteins serve various functions such as transport of molecules, signal transduction, and cell adhesion.

  3. Phospholipid bilayer: This is the fundamental structure of the cell membrane, providing a barrier that marks the boundaries of a cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Embedded nucleotides and cellulose are not typically found in the membrane of an animal cell. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA, not typically embedded in the cell membrane. Cellulose is a component of
