In factories, walls (membranes) are used to separate regions with different functions. For example, the paint room is separated from the upholstery shop so each can carry on its functions without interference from the other. As far as the cell membrane, this forms the wall of around the entire factory.
In a cell city analogy, the plasma membrane can be compared to the city walls as it surrounds and protects the cell, controlling what enters and exits the cell. Just like city walls, the plasma membrane also helps maintain the cell's shape and provides structural support.
hydrophobic tails
How about a fence around a yard? It does the same thing as a plasma membrane, it keeps the things that are supposed to stay in the yard, in the yard. And, it keeps the things that are outside the yard from getting into the yard. Every once in a while it lets a few select things either go in or out.
The plasma membrane.
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.

The cell membrane is also called the plasma membrane.
Yes, Plasma membrane is living .
do animal have a plasma membrane
Yes, prokaryotes have a plasma membrane.
The electrical condition of a plasma membrane of a resting neuron is polarized, meaning there is a voltage difference across the membrane with the inside being negatively charged compared to the outside. This resting membrane potential is typically around -70 millivolts.
