The complete question is attached in the form of an image as it lacks an essential part of the question?

Answer:

Eukaryotic cell membranes:

phosphatidylserine - it is found in the inner leaflet of the membrane and plays role in the cell cycle signaling.

phosphatidylcholine - these are a major group of the membrane in eukaryotes.

phosphatidylinositol - it is also present in eukaryotic cells only in significant amounts

both bacterial and eukaryotic cell membrane:

phosphatidylglycerol - directly activates lipid-gated ion channels in both type of cell membrane

phosphatidylethanolamine - helps in assembling membrane proteins.

cardiolipin - it present in both eukaryotic and bacterial membrane however it makes 20% of the inner membrane of the mitochondrial membrane

Bacterial membrane:

No particular lipid
