The cell membrane is a part of a cell; specifically, it is the outermost layer, or effectively the skin of the cell. It is not made up of cells. A cell is not itself made up of cells, that would entail an infinite regression.

Plant cell part protects the cell membrane?

cell wall (which is made up of cellulose, which is made up of beta glucose)


What forms the outer border of a human cell?

Outer boundary of a cell is formed by a cell wall in plant cells and a cell membrane in animal cells. However in some cases animal cells can have a cell wall, but it is not made of cellulose as it is in a plant cell. It is mostly made of proteins.


All cells contain a membrane?

Yes, all cells are surrounded by a cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, which controls what enters and exits the cell. The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that help maintain the cell's structure and function.


Where is the cell membrane located and how is it different from a cell wall?

The cell membrane is located beneath the cell wall. The cell membrane is present in almost all types of cells whereas the cell wall is present in bacteria, fungi, algae, plant cell and is absent in protozoans and animal cells. The cell membrane is semipermeable and give support to the cytoskeleton of the cell, gives shape to the cell and helps in the formation of tissues whereas the function of the cell wall is to provide strength and rigidity to the cell, protects the cell against mechanical forces. The cell membrane is not elastic but permeable whereas the cell wall is elastic and controls turgidity. The cell membrane is found in animal cells wheres the cell wall is found in plant cells. The cell membrane is made up of lipids and proteins whereas the cell wall is made up of cellulose.


Do Euglena have Cell Membranes?

Not only Euglena, all living cells have cell membranes. This cell membrane is called as plasma membrane, which is a cell membrane. Plant cells have an additional outer membrane, called as cell wall, made up of cellulose. Animal cells lack cell wall but have plasma membranes. They also both have a Nucleus, which is the centre of a cell and controls all the cells activities.

What is the cell that has a nucleus?

both plant and animal cells have the nucleus. The plant cell is made of cytoplasm, chloroplast, nucleus, cell membrane and cell wall. The animal cell is made up of the nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm.
