Best Answer

It is the outer layer of protection of the Cell. It controls what goes in and out of the Cell. It contains lipids, proteins, and phospholipids. It is very important because it protects the Cell from the environment.

It is called a neurolemma if it is around a nerve cell, and a sarcolemma if it is around a muscle cell.


cell mem·brane

noun

  1. the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
