The membrane allows the cell to keep all its resources and materials together. Otherwise everything would drift away.
The cell membrane is permeable to some materials, allowing them to pass through into the cell without energy expenditure.
Similarly the membrane is impermeable to some materials. This allows the cell to do things like create a charge or concentration gradient by using active transport of the material. This is how cells maintain their Na and K concentrations which is very important to cell function.
One reason why folded membranes are an advantage to a cell is because they facilitate a more efficient cell process. Another reason is that folded membranes allow for interconnected compartments.
It is an advantage because it prevents viruses from getting inside the cell and killing it.
The cell has a greater level of structural support.
Cell membrane allows some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others
control the movement of substances in and out of the cell
have fun on study island!!
it makes it semi permeable so that it can eaisly get materials and get rid of waste
It increases surface area
It protects the membrane.
the membrane has a greater surface area for an increased rate of diffusion
do protists have cell membranes?
Every microbe has cell membranes but only plants have plasma membranes...
Yes all cells have cell membranes

Which of these have very thin cell membranes?
Membranes
Plants have cell membranes just inside their cell walls. The cell membranes control what passes into and out of the cell.
Cell membranes are not hard at all they are actually quite softish....
plant
Yes. Like plants they have both cell membranes and cell walls (but the cell walls have a different composition).
cell membranes monitor what goes into and out of a cell. only animal cells have a cell membrane. hope this is ok
