they cytoskeleton helps the cells maintain its shape. However, in plants the cell wall does.

What are the main functions of the cell membrane and what molecules is it made of?
A cell membrane is mostly made of a double layer of phosolipids and it's function is like a boundary. The cell is like a factory and the membranes are the wall of the factory.
Is Golgi apparatus a cell or organism?
It is an organelle, kind of like a mini organ inside a cell. It is a packaging unit, it produces phospholipd membranes to contain substances for transport.
How is the cell of a one called organism different from the cells in many celled organism?
it has more cells.
Do fungi have cell membranes?
Yes. Like plants they have both cell membranes and cell walls (but the cell walls have a different composition).
How is the cell of a one-celled organism different from the the cells of many-celled organisms?
One cell or unicellular organism cells are of simpler forms mostly prokaryotes. In one cell organisms all the vital functions which are necessary for the life is carried by the same cell. In many cell or multicellular organisms the cells are complex and are called eukaryotic cells. In multicellular organism the cells are divided and are specialized in performing different functions according to need as some cells like blood work to carry oxygen, some cell hv functions like secreating some fluids like hormones or vitamins.
What kind of organism has different kinds of cells with different functions?
A Multicellular organism such as a human beings like you or me, Animals, Birds, etc.
Is a cell an organism?
Yes a cell can be a living organism - but it would have to be one that can live by itself, performing all the functions of life, in which case it is a unicellular organism. Prokaryotes are excellent examples, with things like amoebas, bacteria (such as E.coli) etc.
Are cells and cell membranes the same?
no they are not, The cell is like the body and the cell membrane is like the skin of the body
How is a single cell like an entire organism?
Because it has a "brain" or control center.... the nucleus! It functions kinda like a human or animal, it eats and produces waste.
How is the cell of a one celled organism different from the cells in many-celled organism?
One cell or unicellular organism cells are of simpler forms mostly prokaryotes. In one cell organisms all the vital functions which are necessary for the life is carried by the same cell. In many cell or multicellular organisms the cells are complex and are called eukaryotic cells. In multicellular organism the cells are divided and are specialized in performing different functions according to need as some cells like blood work to carry oxygen, some cell hv functions like secreating some fluids like hormones or vitamins.
What is the relationship between cell structure and cell function?
Cells preform small but important functions in the body, like transporting blood, and killing diseases. Organs work like big "cells" and preform important functions, like absorbing blood and controlling the body. In fact, the whole body is like a cell, as the body has organs, and a cells has organelles, that both preform functions to keep the organism living. the body has a brain to control a body and cells have a nucleus to control the functions of a cell.
What are like fences that allow materials to enter and leave a cell?
cell membranes
