Four functions of the plasma membrane are:1) Serves as a gateway between the fluid inside and outside the cell.
2) Serves as a communicative device ( for molecules to bind to receptor proteins)
3) Identifies a cell coming from a particular individual.
4) Keeps the cell whole and intact.
The four functions of the plasma membrane includes serving as a gateway between the inside and outside of the cell, communication device, and identifies cells. In addition, the plasma membrane keeps the cell whole.
Most of the active functions of plasma membranes are carried out by proteins.
Plasma membrane permits the entry and exit of some materials in the cells. Therefore, the plasma membrane is called a selective permeable membrane. Functions of plasma membrane : 1) Diffusion 2) Osmosis 3) Mediated transport
The relative amounts of proteins and lipids
Cell membrane is also known as plasma membrane. Controls exchange of materials such as nutrients and waste between cells and their environment. Has other important functions for example to enable cells to receive hormones.

Plasma membrane is the same as "cell membrane" it's one of the four characteristics of all cells. So plasma membrane is found "coating" the outside of all cells.

Plasma Membrane
There are four functions of proteins within the cell membrane. The four functions of proteins are active transport, cell recognition, cell communications, and are used as enzymes in the cell membrane.
Cell membrane is also known as plasma membrane. Controls exchange of materials such as nutrients and waste between cells and their environment. Has other important functions for example to enable cells to receive hormones.
The plasma membrane.
The structures allow the cell to perform specific functions.
The differences between cell wall and cell membrane are:Cell wall is made of cellulose while plasma membrane is made of lipids & proteins.Cell wall is freely permeable but cell membrane is selectively permeable.Cell wall is dead but plasma membrane is living.Cell wall is rigid but plasma membrane is smooth, elastic and flexible.Cell wall is found only in plant cells but plasma membrane is found in all liviing cells.

A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
