E
speeding up chemical reactions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group.

Detailed explanation-2: -The membrane has a lipid-protein structure. Phospholipids provide fluidity within the membrane and form a semi/ selectively permeable barrier. Hydrophobic substances and some small molecules can move through the lipid layers by diffusion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Membrane proteins serve a range of important functions that helps cells to communicate, maintain their shape, carry out changes triggered by chemical messengers, and transport and share material.

Detailed explanation-4: -Maintain The Shape Of The Cell. The inside part of the cell is mainly composed of water. Act As A Semipermeable Membrane. Important In Cell Recognition And Communication. Maintain Its Internal Environment. 26-Jan-2018
