Question

which sterol derived component of the plasma membrane provides protection against hyperthermia?
glycolipids
proteins
glycoproteins
cholesterol

Explanation:

Cholesterol is a sterol - derived component of the plasma membrane. It helps maintain membrane fluidity and provides protection against hyperthermia by restricting the movement of fatty - acid chains in the membrane. Glycolipids, proteins, and glycoproteins do not have this specific sterol - derived property for hyperthermia protection.

Answer:

D. Cholesterol
