The cell membrane on an animal cell is the outermost layer and acts as a protection shield. It is selectively permeable meaning it only lets certain things into the cytoplasm of the cell. The nucleus does not have a cell membrane, it simply directs the cells activities. In a plant cell there is a cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane giving the cell support and protection, but the cell membrane still provides the same function as it does on the animal cell.
