One function is that the cell membrane forms a barrier between the inside of a cell and the outside. another is that it can aloso change the internal enviorment those are changes of how the cells responde to what is happening outside in its surroundins. This happeneds by moving things around the membrane in a way in which they have the control of it(a controlled way). There are more reasons though. but i hope this helps. :-)
The cell membrane is made up of bilayers of phospholipids which are the structural foundations for all cell membranes. Phospholipids within the bilayer also move, where they spin, flex their tails to counter close packing, diffuse sideways, and help fluidity, which also results from short-tailed lipids and unsaturated tails.
Cell membranes contain different proteins which promote different actions. The adhesion proteins are glycoproteins that help cells stay connected to each other in a tissue. The recognition proteins determines the certain cell type, help lead the cell into forming into tissues, and functions in cell to cell recognition and coordination. The receptor proteins have connecting areas for hormones that can activate changes in the cell's actions, such as cell development. The transport proteins allow water soluble substances to be able to move within their interior.
Since cell membrane encloses a cell and regulates in and out functions of a cell, similarly a tissue membrane regulates in and out functions of a tissue.
cell membranes monitor what goes into and out of a cell. only animal cells have a cell membrane. hope this is ok
Cell membranes control what passes in and out of the cell. The cell membrane functions this way in both plant and animal cells.-Chocolate391
Cell membranes allow nutrients into cells and waste products pass out of cells. Cell membranes provide a protective barrier for cells — they don't let everything in, especially large particles. Cell membranes are important in the communication between cells. Cell membranes are reservoirs for fatty acids.
they help transport some substances through the membrane

the cell membrane protect the cell ,contain the cytoplasm and controls in the cellular transport.
they cytoskeleton helps the cells maintain its shape. However, in plants the cell wall does.

There are two kinds of proteins in a cell membrane: peripheral PROTEINS OR trans membrane proteins. Cell membranes are able to perform various functions only because of different membrane protein functions. Most of the membrane proteins have alpha helix structure.

the mechanism for this function is passive and active trasnport.
to let harmful and non harmful waste travel in and out u should thak me
