The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, serves as a protective barrier that separates the interior of the cell from its external environment. It regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, allowing essential nutrients to enter while keeping harmful substances out. Composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins, the membrane also plays a key role in cell signaling and communication. Additionally, it helps maintain the cell's shape and structural integrity.

How can you tell if a cell is a plant or animal?

ussually the plant cell has a cell wall so it is more of a box-like shape. and the plant cell has a large vacuole which causes the nucleus to be on the side. in a plant cell there are small vaculoes so the nucleus is ussually in the middle and the plant cell has no cell wall just a mambrane therefore it is more sphereical.
