As all are saying lipids are also present in large quantity but it is also true that carbohydrates are minimum in a cell membrane. So both the things are true.

Dhruvil said:   1 decade ago
Cell membrane is made up of lipids and protein molecules in which protein molecules are embedded amongst lipid molecules and it doesn't contain carbohydrate.

Kuldeep Kumar said:   8 years ago
According to Molecular weight, lipid and protein are equal in Membrane so answer is carbohydrates are minimum.

Kulsoom said:   6 years ago
Ya both are correct carbohydrates are minimum and lipid are maximum in the plasma membrane.

Ya I'm agree with @lucky that lipids are also maximum according to fluid mosaic model.

Sanaullah memon said:   1 decade ago
Yeah of course Lipids are maximum and carbohydrates are minimum in cell membrane.

Sudira said:   9 years ago
In fluid mosaic model lipids and protein molecules can change their position.

It is made of phospholipid membrane according to fluid mosaic model.

Priyapraveen said:   1 decade ago
Lipids are maximum and carbohydrates are minimum in cell membrane.

Wini saini said:   7 years ago
Yes, I also agree with this according to the fluid mosaic model.
