The cell membrane is the outer most layer of the cell, and its functions are as follows:
- Allows certain materials to enter the cell
- Gets rid of cell waste.
- Contains all the cell organelles.
- Protects the cell from injury

∙ 11y agoThey have a few key roles.
1. Inter-cellular communication - eg. receptors for enzymes.
2. Transport: Proteins form transporters or channels, allowing substances to pass into and out of the cell. This can be passively (eg. aquaporins) or actively (the Na/K ATPase pump)
3. Immune functions - eg. antigens.
4. Structure. Some cells use proteins to maintain complex structures, as the phospholipid bilayer defaults to a simple spherical blob without them (and supporting carbohydrates of course)!
