A cell membrane is like a gate, allows good things to come in and the bad things to go out. A cell wall keeps the shape of the plant cell. A cell membrane has many gates in it while the cell wall may only have one or two gates.

they provide a definite shape and structure to the cells
differences
cell wall is non living while cell membrane is living
cell wall is made up of cellulose while cell membrane is made up of lipoproteins
cell wall is freely permeable (it allows substances to enter the cell without hindrance) while cell membrane is selectively permeable (it allows only some substances to enter the cell)
cell wall is present only in plant cells while cell membrane is present in both plant and animal cells.

Which is a major difference between the cell membrane and the cell wall
What is one main difference between the cell wall and the cell membrane?
The cell wall is more rigid than the cell membrane.
What is the boundary between the exterior and the interior of the cell?
In animals, it is the cellular membrane. In plants it is the cell wall and cell membrane.
What is the organelle that surrounds the cell and protects it?
the cell membrane the cell membrane
What is a cell's barrier between the inside and its environment?
There are more than one kind of cell. If it is an animal or bacteria cell, than the cell membrane separates it. If it is a plant cell, than the cell wall separates it. go to www.cellsalive.com for more on that

Where is the cell membrane in the cells that do not have cell walls?
The cell membrane would be in the same place as the cell wall on one that has one- on the outside of the cell. In cells with cell walls, the cell membrane is in-between the cell wall and the cytoplasm.
Is the cell wall between the cell membrane and the nucleus?
No the cell wall is the outside layer of the cell surronding the cell membrane and nucleus.
What is the boundary between the exterior and the interior of the cell?
In animals, it is the cellular membrane. In plants it is the cell wall and cell membrane.
