Explanation:

Cholesterol has many important functions, including its role in membrane permeability, especially the cell membrane, and its role in metabolism. Cholesterol reduces the permeability of lipid membranes. ... Cholesterol helps to restrict the passage of molecules by increasing the packing of phospholipids. Steroid molecule that makes membranes more fluid at low temps and more ordered at high temps.
