Make up cell membrane and other membranes:
A
carbohydrates
B
lipids
C
proteins
D
nucleic acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three major classes of membrane lipid molecules-phospholipids, cholesterol, and glycolipids. The lipid compositions of the inner and outer monolayers are different, reflecting the different functions of the two faces of a cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The formation of biological membranes is based on the properties of lipids, and all cell membranes share a common structural organization: bilayers of phospholipids with associated proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most plasma membranes consist of approximately 50% lipid and 50% protein by weight, with the carbohydrate portions of glycolipids and glycoproteins constituting 5 to 10% of the membrane mass.
