What are the two primary functions of the cell membrane?

The two primary functions of the cell membrane are to regulate the passage of substances in and out of the cell (selective permeability) and to maintain the cell's internal environment by controlling the balance of ions and nutrients.


Which is a major difference between the cell membrane and the cell wall?

One major difference is that the cell membrane is a flexible barrier that surrounds the cell and regulates what enters and exits the cell, while the cell wall is a rigid structure located outside the cell membrane that provides structural support and protection to the cell.


What supports the cell and protects it?

The cell membrane supports the cell and controls what enters and exits. The cell wall (in plant cells) provides additional support and protection. Additionally, organelles like the cytoskeleton provide structural support for the cell.


What cell part regulates what goes in and out of a cell?

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, regulates what enters and exits a cell. It is selectively permeable, allowing certain molecules to pass through while blocking others. Transport proteins embedded in the membrane control the movement of substances in and out of the cell.


What is same thing between animal cell and plant cell?

Both animal and plant cells have a nucleus that contains genetic material, mitochondria for energy production, and a cell membrane that regulates what enters and exits the cell. Both cell types also contain cytoplasm where various organelles are suspended.

What regulates what enter and exits the cell and provides protection to cell organelles?

The wall gives the cell its shape and surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane. If there was no cell membrane the organelles would lose their shape and bump into each other. The cell membrane is a gelatin fluid, so the organelles stick to it and stay and shape and do not bump into the other organelles.

What is a cell membranes job in a plant cell?

Does the cell membrane keep the cell wall in place?

No, the cell wall and cell membrane are separate structures. The cell wall is a rigid layer found outside the cell membrane in plant cells that provides structure and support, while the cell membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell.


Cell membrane analogy?

The cell membrane can be compared to a fence around a house. Just as a fence regulates what enters and exits the property, the cell membrane controls what substances come in and out of the cell. Additionally, like a fence, the cell membrane provides protection and support for the cell.
