How does the plasma membrane differ between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
Prokaryotes' plasma membranes have lipid bilayer structures, with the exception of archebacteria, which fuse their lipid bilayers to form lipid monolayers. Hopanoids control the fluidity of these membranes.
The lipid bilayer cell membrane is found in eukaryotes as well, but in this case, cholesterol regulates the membrane's fluidity.

In prokaryotes, the plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins; in eukaryotes, it lacks membrane-bound organelles and frequently contains other types of lipids; in prokaryotes, the membrane may contain hopanoids, while in eukaryotes, it may contain cholesterol for stability; in eukaryotic cells, membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum are absent.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
