No. The cell wall is made of a stiff material which protects the cell and keeps its shape regular. It is usually composed of a complex carbohydrate. The cell membrane is a thin partially-permeable layer of phospholipids surrounding the cytoplasm which controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It does not allow bigger molecules such as the other structures of the cell to move out of the cell except through special channel proteins. All cells have a cell membrane, but not all cells have a cell wall.

What does the same thing as the cell wall?

The Cell Membrane is the wall of the cell. It is what keeps the organelles of the cell in and controls what come in and out of the cell. The Cell Wall is just an easier name to remember. :}


Is cell wall found a animal cell?

No. There is just the cell membrane, cytoplasm and the nucleus. No, a Plant cell has a Cell Wall but a Animal has a cell membrane which is the same thing as a plasma membrane


Which organelle protects the animal cell from the outside world?

The plasma membrane is the organelle that protects the animal cell from the outside world. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell and helps maintain the cell's internal environment.


What forms the outside of a cell if there isn't a cell wall?

The thing that forms a outside of a cell if there isn't a cell wall is a cell membrane.


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.


What does the cell wall in the plant cells do for plants?

The cell wall protects and supports the plant cell. but IS NOT the same thing as the cell membrane .


Is the cell membrane of a plant thicker than an animals?

In a plant there is: cell wall cell membrane chloroplast cytoplasm nucleus vacuole Animal: Cell membrane cytoplasm nucleus So yeah


Why does a cell need a cell wall and a cell membrane?

Well, only plants have cell walls, and they are used for support and protection. Cell Membranes do the same thing, but they also regulate what enters and exits the cell.


Does the cell protect the cell wall of a cell membrane?

You can't have a cell wall and a cell membrane so no


What controles the movement in and out of the cell?

Inside of a cell it is the cell membrane which lets substances pass into the cell, and out. The cell wall is used to keep the shape of the cell the same.


What person place or thing does the same has the cell membrane?

A wall in a building functions similarly to a cell membrane. It serves as a barrier, controlling what goes in and out of the building, much like how a cell membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of a cell.
