A Cell wall surrounds a single Cell membrane.

A Cell wall is a tough, usually flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of Cells. It is located outside the Cell membrane and provides these Cells with structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism. A major function of the cell wall is to act as a pressure vessel, preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell. They are found in plants, bacteria, fungi, algae, and some archaea. Animals and protozoa do not have cell walls.

The materials in a cell wall vary between species, and in plants and fungi also differ between cell types and developmental stages. In plants, the strongest component of the complex cell wall is a carbohydrate called cellulose, which is a polymer of glucose. In bacteria, peptidoglycan forms the cell wall. Archaean cell walls have various compositions, and may be formed of glycoprotein S-layers, pseudopeptidoglycan, or polysaccharides. Fungi possess cell walls made of the glucosamine polymer chitin, and algae typically possess walls made of glycoproteins and polysaccharides. Unusually, diatoms have a cell wall composed of silicic acid. Often, other accessory molecules are found anchored to the Cell wall.

Different groups (sometimes referred to as "species") of bacteria come in different sizes, and cells within different states of growth have different sizes, but a size of 1-10 micrometers is a middle range.

The average thickness of a cell membrane is between 7 and 9 nanometers. One micrometer is equal to 1000 nanometers.

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.
