Both! The kind of outer layer depends on the type of cell - (animal or plant). A plant cell has a cell wall but the animal cell has a cell membrane. The animal cell does not have a cell wall because, a cell wall would be more hard and "strict." The animal cell needs to be more flexible and "loose."
I hope this truly helps you with your homework, worksheets, notes, etc.

the cell wall is a rigid outer layer unique to plant cells. it shapes and protects the cell, unlike animal cells, whose outer most layer is the plasma membrane (a layer that lies beneath the cell wall in plant cells)
The cell membrane is flexible and the cell wall is stiff.
The cell membrane. It is a lipid bilayer with proteins integrated into it for transportation into and out of the cell.
It depends if the cell is an animal or plant cell. If it is an animal cell then the cell membrane is the outer boundary. If it is a plant cell then the cell wall is the outer boundary.
May I please ask: what is your question in specific? What this person is asking is, "what is the outermost layer of a plant cell?". I actually want to know that too.
The outer layer of a cell is the cell membrane or plasma membrane
In a plant cell it is located just inside of the cell wall (outer layer). In an animal cell, the cell membrane is the outer layer.

its the most outer layer

The outer surrounding layer of a plant cell is the cell wall, which provides structure and support. In an animal cell, the outer layer is the cell membrane, which controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
yes.. the outer layer that is enclosing the cell is the cell membrane, and after the membrane is the rigid cell wall. this is to protect the cells content
The cell membrane is flexible and the cell wall is stiff.
The outer layer of a fungal cell is called the cell wall. It provides structural support and protection for the cell. The composition of the fungal cell wall can vary depending on the type of fungus.
No it is not. A cell wall is a rigid outer structure on a plant or algae cell. A cell membrane is a flexible outer layer on every cell, but doesn't provide much protection. answered by Shelby 7th grade
The cell membrane is the outer layer of a cell. It is part of the PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL! don't get it confused with a cell wall, they are similar but they are different.
The animals outer layer is called the cell membrane. The plants cell membrane still exists, but it has another layer surrounding the membrane called the cell wall.
