The cell membrane moves in a fluid motion due to cholesterol lined between the phospholipids that make up the cell membrane. This allows for freer movement of the cell.

but the cell membrane is typically a fluid bilayer
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoGenerally speaking, they are basically rigid, but it depends entirely on the type of membrane.

What is the outer layer of a cell?
The outer layer of a cell is the cell membrane or plasma membrane
What controls substances that enter and leave the cell?
IT depends on what cell. In the plant cell it is the cell wall and the cell membrane. But in the animal cell it is only the cell membrane.
What is the outer layer in animal cells called?
the cell membrane. It is a protein mosaic this is hydrophobic on both sides and hydrophllic in the center.

How cell membrane help?
The cell membrane forms a boundary between the inside and outside of the cell. It is very flexible.
What is the flexible covering around a cell?
This is known as the cell membrane. Cell membranes are found in all cells. In plants, fungi and bacteria there is also a cell wall.
