In vertebrates, there are three major types of cell junction:
1. Adherens junctions, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes (anchoring junctions.)
2. Gap junctions (communicating junction)
3. Tight junctions (occluding junctions)
Your question most likely is for the tight junction but more information in the question would be helpful.

What binds animal cells together?

Animal cells are mostly bound together by what are known as intercellular junctions. There are three types of cell junctions: anchoring junctions, tight junctions and gap junctions. Of these, anchoring junctions, which include adherens junction, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, help bind the animal cells together, in an extracellular matrix.

Is The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer.?

It is often called the cell membrane because it is made up of phospholipid bilayers. It is also often called the plasma membrane. Each phospholipid joins together at the hydrophilic head, leaving the hydrophobic tail on the inside, and forming a bilayer.
