There are many theories that have been proposed to explain the structure of cell or plasma membrane.
The unit theory proposed by Robertson says that it consists of two layers of phospho-lipid molecules and proteins on either side of the membrane.
The fluid mosaic model proposed by Singer and Nicholson is the most widely accepted one.It says that it consists of phospho-lipid bilayer and proteins(like unit membrane theory) but gives additional information that the molecules are amphipathic(having hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head).The proteins are attached to the molecules either superficially(extrinsic) or inserted wholly or partially(intrinsic)
The carrier proteins along with the phospho-lipid molecules play an important role in the movement of molecules inside or outside the cell by active or passive transportation

cell membrane aka plasma membrane
It's the plasma membrane. This is because it acts like a gate regulating what can enter and leave the cell. If the plasma membrane did not exist the cell would die because it might take in something that could kill it.
Cell membrane
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
the cell membrane is as flexible barrier outside of the cell.

There are multiple membranes in a cell. Two of them are the cell membrane and the nucleur membrane.
The outer boundary of a general animal cell is the cell membrane.
the cell membrane
the cell membrane is the outer part of the cell wall.
cell membrane aka plasma membrane
cell membrane is the most outer part of a cell. cell membrane is very big in surface.
