The function of cholesterol within the cell membrane maybe be many, but does not include the reduction in membrane fluidity .

The steric structure of the cholesterol in the cell membrane is such that:

  • it prevents freezing of the membrane when the temperature gets low
  • It limits the permeability of some materials
  • it makes the membrane more fluid and stable
  • it helps take up cholesterol from the surrounding environment into the cell, hence, helps with the transport of molecules.

The correct answer as to which is not a function of cholesterol within the cell membrane would, therefore, be that it reduces membrane fluidity.
