In simplest terms; It protects the cell and draws in nutrients to keep the cell healthy. The cell membrane also keeps out certain chemicals, for instance sodium, and keeps certain chemicals inside the cell like potassium. It can be harmed by disease or invading phenomena.
The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosing its contents. Its function is to allow certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out. It also serves to help support the cell and maintain its shape.
Cell membrane is the living outermost component of cell. It helps in protecting cell from mechanical shocks and also provide a confined shape and structure to the cell. The main role of cell membrane is either to check the in and out movement of compounds to the cell, as it work as semipermeable membrane which allows the specific compounds or elements into and out of the cell.
The cell membrane maintain the shape of a cells...but this is not it's major function. A cell membrane protects the interior contents present in the cell from spilling out into the external environment. It also protects the cell from harmful substances present in the external environment from entering into the cell. Amoeba forms different shapes while feeding, and without a cell membrane it would become clumsy like a fluid. Cell membranes maintain shape, rigidity and also protect the cell, thereby helping it in its survival.
It controls what enters and leaves the cell.
to control what goes in and out of the cell
The outer edge of a plant cell is called the cell wall
The folds of the cell membrane on the free surface are known as microvilli. These folds will help in increasing the surface area of the cell membrane.
The Cell surface membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell
The cell membrane controls movement of materials in and out of the cell.
The Plasma Membrane (also known as Cell Surface Membrane) is found in cells of plants and animals.

what is the job of the cell membrane
the job of a membrane controls what substances can get in and out of the cell.
The Cell surface membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell
The diffrence is that the cell membrane is just a barrier between the exterior enviroment and the interior of the cell, while the cell surface membrane exerts control over what enters/leaves the cell! :)
the cellular membrane is the hard surface that surrounds the cell.
In plant cell the cell surface membrane is right against the cell wall
cell membrane is the most outer part of a cell. cell membrane is very big in surface.
The cell membrane controls movement of materials in and out of the cell.
The Plasma Membrane (also known as Cell Surface Membrane) is found in cells of plants and animals.
