The cell membrane is composed of phospholipid bi-layer and proteins. The phospholipids are both hydrophillic and hydrophobic and makes the cell membrane be selectively permeable, that is allows only curtain molecules to pass through the membrane. The proteins function is to determine wchich molecules must go in and wchich shouldn't go inside the cell.

What is the biggest difference between animal and plant cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane for structure. Animal cells only have a cell membrane.
The protective covering on the outside of the cell is called the?
For plant cells, they have a cell membrane and covering the cell membrane is a cell wall. The cell wall is for the structure of the plant. For animal cells, they just have a cell membrane.
What is the thin structure that surrounds a cell known as?
The thin structure that surrounds a cell is known as a cell membrane. However plant cells have a cell membrane and a cell wall.
In both plant and animal cell the cell membrane?
cell membrane is present both in plant and animal cells. they are similar in structure. But plants have a cell wall in addition.
What is the name the part of the cell that surrounds the animal cell?
The thin structure that surrounds the cytoplasm of an animal cell is called as cell membrane. This is present in most plant, animal and fungi cells. It is a selectively permeable structure and allows the flow of ions and particles from the inside of the cell to the outside and vice-versa.
What is the biggest difference between animal and plant cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane for structure. Animal cells only have a cell membrane.
What structure is outside the cell membrane?
For plant cells, there is a cell wall outside of the cell's membrane. Animal cells do not have walls, so there is no structure outside of the cell membrane.
Which structure is in both plant cells and animal cells controls the passage of substances into and out of cells?
The cell membrane is specially adapted, as it is selectively permeable.
Is a cell membrane a plant structure or animal structure?
Cell membranes are found surrounding both plant and animal cells
The protective covering on the outside of the cell is called the?
For plant cells, they have a cell membrane and covering the cell membrane is a cell wall. The cell wall is for the structure of the plant. For animal cells, they just have a cell membrane.
What are the cells structure?
Cell membrane, vacuole, nucleus are all part of a cell. They are the cell structure.#doesntmake sence
How do you determine if cells are plant or animals what is the structure?
The plant cells will usually have a cell wall instead of a cell membrane like animal cells do.
What is the thin structure that surrounds a cell known as?
The thin structure that surrounds a cell is known as a cell membrane. However plant cells have a cell membrane and a cell wall.
The external structure of plant cells that distinguished them from animal cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall around the outside, but animal cells only have a cell membrane.
In both plant and animal cell the cell membrane?
cell membrane is present both in plant and animal cells. they are similar in structure. But plants have a cell wall in addition.
Is cell membrane a plant cell?
There is a cell membrane in plant cells and in animal cells.
Is a Cell membrane a plant or animals structure?
Both plants and animals have cell membranes. Only plant cells have cell walls.
