Well...no.

The cell wall is a rigid structure made from(in the case of plant cells rather than bacteria or fungi) cellulose and other rigid fibers.

The cell membrane is a fluid, thinner structure made up of a double layer of phospholipids which are comprised of the hydrophilic heads facing outwards and hydrophobic tails facing toward each other in the layer. I tried to make a visual example below. The circles are the heads adn teh lines are the tails.

There's more on the membrane I could go into in terms of embedded proteins and different types of phospho-heads, but I don't think your question requires such details.

What structure is outside the cell membrane?

For plant cells, there is a cell wall outside of the cell's membrane. Animal cells do not have walls, so there is no structure outside of the cell membrane.


What structure in a plant cell may force the cell membrane into contact with the cell wall?

The structure in a plant cell that may force the cell membrane into contact with the cell wall is the plasma membrane. This will also come into contact with the vesicle membrane.

What is the structure that surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell?

The cell membrane is the structure that surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell. It is made up of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that selectively allow certain molecules and ions to pass through the membrane.

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.
