Answer:

Cholesterol helps to restrict the passage of molecules by increasing the packing of phospholipids. Cholesterol can fit into spaces between phospholipids and prevent water-soluble molecules from diffusing across the membrane.

Cholesterol changes the fluidity, thickness, compressibility, water penetration and intrinsic curvature of lipid bilayers.
