Question

which sterol derived component of the plasma membrane provides protection against hyperthermia?
glycoproteins
proteins
glycolipids
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. Glycoproteins, proteins, and glycolipids do not have this specific function related to protection against hyperthermia as a sterol - derived component.

Answer:

D. Cholesterol
