The cell membrane looks likea thin line surrounding the cell. It is present in both the animal and plant cells. dont mistake the the cell wall and the cell membrane in the plant cell. The Cell wall is outside of the cell membrane but only in the PLANT cell.

It looks slightly different from the plasma membrane because it has a lot of pores and a thin layer of protein coating the inside.

yes, but it may not look like it. The plant cell has a cell wall, and under it is the cell membrane, then the cell. you can see the cell membrane easier on an animal cell though because it does not have a cell wall.

What give shapes to the cell?

A plant cell has a cell wall and a cell membrane. The cell wall is the tough outer-layer that holds the cells shape. The membrane is a layer that controls what enters the cell. Animal cells only have a semipermeable cell membrane this both holds the cell together and controls the substances that enter the cell.
