No. The cell membrane is there in both animals and plants. The function of it is to protect the cell and control what goes in and out of the cell. This is called osmosis and diffusion (osmosis is the diffusion of water).
The cell wall is outside the cell membrane and is only there in plant cells. It acts as another barrier between the outside world and the inside of the cell while also maintaining the rigidity of the cell. It also filters things in and out of the cell.

Both the cell wall and cell membrane are found in plant cells, help maintain cell shape, and act as a protective barrier. However, the cell wall is rigid and made of cellulose, while the cell membrane is flexible and made of phospholipids.

∙ 15y agoNo, they are significantly different.
The cell wall is a relatively simple structure, porous to many molecules. Its function is to provide protection and support for the cell within. The cell walls of different organisms are chemically different. Plants have largely cellulose in their cell walls. Fungi have chitin, and bacteria peptidoglycans.
The cell membrane has a complex and highly organized structure. Much of it consists of a double layer of phospholipid molecules, called the phospholipid bilayer. Embedded in this bilayer are proteins of various kinds: enzymes, receptor proteins, and transport proteins (channel proteins and carrier proteins). Between them, the phospholipids and proteins regulate the entry and departure of ions and molecules, whereas the cell wall lets almost anything through!

∙ 15y agoNo, cell walls are made of cellulose while cell membrane from lipo-proteins. Cell wall is freely permeable while cell membrane is differentially permeable. Cell wall is present only in plants while cell membrane is present in all the cells.

∙ 14y agoThey are both sorrounding the cell. they provide structure, filter, protection, etc. The cell wall is not in all the cells, nevertheless, those that have it have better protection.
The cell membrane, also servers to provide structure, certain protection; serving more as a filter. The strongest cells are those that have both: a cell membrane and a cell wall.

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 is a semi-permeable membrane that forms a boundary between the cell and the external environment?
The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that forms a boundary between the cell and the external environment. The vacuole is the storage area within the cell.
What is one main difference between the cell wall and the cell membrane?
One main difference is that the cell membrane is a selectively permeable barrier surrounding the cell, regulating the passage of substances in and out, while the cell wall is a rigid structure located outside the cell membrane that provides support and protection to the cell.
What has a cell membrane but no chloroplasts or a cell wall?
Animal cells have a cell membrane but do not have chloroplasts or a cell wall.
Something that performs the same function as the cell wall?
The plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, functions similarly to the cell wall by providing structure, protecting the cell, and regulating what enters and exits the cell. It is a phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and maintains its integrity.
Where is the cell membrane in the cells that do not have cell walls?
The cell membrane would be in the same place as the cell wall on one that has one- on the outside of the cell. In cells with cell walls, the cell membrane is in-between the cell wall and the cytoplasm.
What is the things between cell wall and cell membrane called?
The space between the cell wall and cell membrane is called the periplasmic space. It is present in bacterial cells and contains various proteins, enzymes, and other molecules important for cell function and metabolism.

Is the cell wall between the cell membrane and the nucleus?
No the cell wall is the outside layer of the cell surronding the cell membrane and nucleus.
Is cell wall found a animal cell?
No. There is just the cell membrane, cytoplasm and the nucleus. No, a Plant cell has a Cell Wall but a Animal has a cell membrane which is the same thing as a plasma membrane
What is the out cell membrane do in a plant cell?
it is not call ed the outer membrane, its the cell wall. It does the same thing like the cell membrane, but the cell wall is much for stricter with objects coming in and out of cell, what is call, selectivly permeable
Some plants produce a between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall?
Secondary cell wall
What does the same thing as the cell wall?
The Cell Membrane is the wall of the cell. It is what keeps the organelles of the cell in and controls what come in and out of the cell. The Cell Wall is just an easier name to remember. :}
What is a semi-permeable membrane that forms a boundary between the cell and the external environment?
The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that forms a boundary between the cell and the external environment. The vacuole is the storage area within the cell.
