It doesn't. It has whats called a selectively permeable membrane which means its sort of like a screen. A screen lets air in, but keeps flys out. Right? Well, the cell membrane is the same way. It lets in food and water molecules because their smaller and keeps bacteria out. It does this by a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the process in which a molecule moves from a place of higher concentration (outside of the cell) to lower concentration (inside of the cell). Get it?
Well its a simple matter of when the membrane has to grow (like for cell division) metabolism switches to glycolysis and the metabolites normall used for oxidative phosphorylation are used to make the various phospholipids that make up the membrane. These are then transported to the membrane.
In essence membranes are essential for the integrity and function of the cell.
min-limited by ability to pack structural components into the cell.
max-limited by the ratio of surface area to volume
The cell membrane can regulate its size by mitosis. If a cell gets too large it can't keep up with the energy demands so it replicates itself by splitting in half.
Yes. Specifically, proteins embedded in the membranes regulate the movement of molecules. The lipids are there to maintain structure and simply block hydrophilic substances.
The golgi bodies regulate the transport of materials in and out of the cell.
So that the cell is able to regulate what comes in and what goes out of the cell.

They pass through channels in the cell membrane.
false
The semi-permeability of the cell membrane regulate water movement by osmosis.
The cell wall and the cell membrane regulate what enters and exits the cell.
The golgi bodies regulate the transport of materials in and out of the cell.
To regulate what goes into and out of a cell
The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer which is actually a phospholipid. Cell membranes are semipermiable and they regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
So that the cell is able to regulate what comes in and what goes out of the cell.
The function of the outer membrane is to mainly protect the cell from any harmful materials. The membrane will regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
The cell membrane is somewhat of an environment.. cell membranes have many proteins inside them.. the proteins regulate the cell structure, allow cell-cell interaction, and allow passage of materials through the membrane. There also steroids in the membrane that regulate its shape.. and there are also various sugars / glycoproteins in the membrane. Also, one important thing to realize is that the inside of the cell membrane is NON polar.. the outside is polar however.
The main function of a cell membrane is to regulate the materials that enter or leave the cell. It ensures that nutrients can enter and wastes can be discarded from the cell.

all cells have a cell membrane to regulate what goes into and out of the cell I thought was the cell wall that did that and only the cell membrane was in a plant cell... but im not sure
No. The Endoplasmic Reticulum moves things throughout the cell, and the Cell Membrane controls what enters the cell, and what leaves. That means that the Cell Membrane is semi-permiable.
