Which of the following is not a component of the cell membrane?

  1. Cholesterol

  2. Lipids

  3. Proteins

  4. Glucose

The correct answer is: Glucose

The cell membrane is composed of various components such as cholesterol, lipids, and proteins. These components work together to maintain the structure and function of the cell membrane. Glucose, on the other hand, is a type of sugar that is used as a source of energy for the cell. While it is important for cell function, it is not a structural component of the cell membrane. Therefore, D Glucose is not a component of the cell membrane.
