The cell membrane (also called the plasma membrane or plasmalemma) is the biological membrane separating the interior of a cell from the outside environment.

What is the outer layer of a cell that acts as a gatekeeper to a cell?
Cell Membrane
The plasma membrane of a human cell does what?
acts as a gatekeeper
Which structure is a gatekeeper controlling what goes in and out of the cell?
That would be the "guard cells". The stoma is an opening on the underside of many leaves and each stoma is bordered by a pair of guard cells that open and close the pore to allow for "transpiration" (the passage of water in either gaseous or liquid form into or out of the leaf). In hot, dry weather, the guard cells close to prevent water loss. In humid weather, the guard cells allow the pore to open and water can enter.
What is the key function for a cell membrane?
The key function of the cell membrane is to let things in and out of the cell protecting the cell from danger. It is like a gatekeeper.
Is a cell membrane is a brain?
yes, the cell membrane acts as the brain for the cell

What cell feature has been called 'Not just a bag but a fluid mosaic gatekeeper'?
cell membrane
What is the outer layer of a cell that acts as a gateskeeper?
The outer layer of the cell is the cell membrane. This membrane is made up of phospholipids which themselves are made of a polar phosphate head and a non-polar fatty acid tail. The polar heads face the exterior and interior of the cell while the fatty acid tails comprise the interior of the membrane that is created by this arrangement. The membrane acts like a "gatekeeper" for 2 reasons: 1) water and ions can diffuse freely across the membrane while larger molecules cannot 2) a vast variety of proteins are embedded in the membrane and they allow certain ions and even larger molecules to flow to the interior of the cell. This "gatekeeper" function is important for maintaining the cells internal activities.
What is the primary boundary of the cell and what is the overall security of the cell?
For an animal cell it is the cell wall. For a plant cell it is the cell membrane. In an animal cell the cell membrane is right inside the cell wall. The cell membrane is known as "The Gatekeeper" and is the main security of the cell.

Which structure in the cell membrane acts as a door and controls what enters and leaves a cell?
Cell membrane
