Cell membranes have many convolutions because they increasee the surface area to volume ratio, thus increasing the diffusion rate.
Small cells are better able to transport material more efficiently. Many convolutions increase the surface area of the cell, thus allowing for more interactions between the cell and its environment. A large cell has greater volume to its surface area and if this is too large, it will not get enough protein and oxygen.
The mitochondria has a membrane with many convolutions because it increases the surface area for ATP synthesis
The answer is proteins.
Membranes surround cells. There are no cells found in membranes. Membranes are composed mostly of lipids.
To increase surface area, allowing greater contact area for 'transport' of nutrients (movement of substances across the membrane).

yupp cheek cells are animal cells so they have cell membranes
The are convoluted to increase the amount of surface area that is available for chemical reactions and other interactions.
Plant cells have Cell Walls, in addition to membranes. Animal cells only have membranes.
no animal cells also have plasma membranes
Yes, both animal cells and plant cells have semipermeable membranes.
