Best Answer

The cell membrane does not just separate the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell. It provides flexibility to the cell. It also creates a semi-permeable membrane, therefore letting osmosis of water occur. Without the cell membrane, cells would not be able to maintain equilibrium, and no cells would be able to survive today.
