What component surrounds the cell and separated the cell from its environment?

The cell wall or membrane keeps it separate from the environment.


What cells without cell walls forms the outside boundary that separates the cell from its environment?

The Cell Membrane forms the outside boundary that separates the cell from its environment.


What separates the internal environment of the body from the external environment?

The cell membrane separates the internal environment of the body from the external environment. It acts as a physical barrier that controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining the cell's internal balance.


What is hypertonic environment?

A hypertonic environment is one in which the concentration of solutes outside of a cell is higher than inside the cell. This concentration gradient causes water to move out of the cell, leading to the cell shrinking or shriveling up. It can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially be harmful to the cell.


What is the cell of the cell membrane?

The Cell membrane encompasses All Cells. It protects the Cell and controls what substances go in and out of It. So basically, It keeps all of the harmful products out of the Cell, and It lets good products come into the Cell. Some Cells, such as plant Cells or fungi, have a Cell wall, which is different from a Cell membrane. Cell walls are on the outside of some Cells. They are a thick layer of nonliving material made of cellulose. They protect and support the Cell, and give Cells a rigid, box-like shape. For animal Cells, since they don't have a Cell wall, the Cell membrane is the outer boundary that seperates the inside of the Cell from the environment around them. But for plant Cells, fungi, bacteria Cells, and other Cells with a Cell wall, the Cell membrane surrounds the Cell, but the Cell wall surrounds the Cell with the Cell membrane around it.

What organelle separates cell interior from environment?

What seperates the internal composition and the Cytoplasme (the liquid inside the cell holding all parts or organisms of the cell in place) of the cell from the external is the plasmic membrane.
