Well the cell wall is found only in a plant cell while the cell membrane is found in both. The cell wall helps keep the plant in a firm structure. The cell membrane is almost like a gatekeeper however because it lets some particles through that are wanted or need (nutrients etc:) and keeps harmful particles away (wastes ect:)
The Biology dictionary describes Cell Wall as "A membrane of the cell that forms external to the cell membrane whose main role is to give cells rigidity, strength and protection against mechanical stress. It is found in cells of plants, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae. Animals and most protists do not have cell walls"
The biology dictionary describes a cell membrane as "The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out. It also serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in others. Thus the cell membrane also serves to help support the cell and help maintain its shape. Animal cells, plant cells,prokaryotic cells, and fungal cells have cell membranes."
What else can I help you with?
What acts as a barrier between the inside of the cell and the cell's environment?
Cell membrane
What do you mean by cell-wall in plant?
the plant cell wall is like a animal cell membrane it is just the barrier for the cell
Is the barrier between the interior of a human cell and its external environment known as the cell wall?
No, the barrier between the interior of a human cell and its external environment is known as the cell membrane or plasma membrane, not the cell wall. The cell wall is a rigid layer found in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria, providing structural support and protection.
What is the protective barrier surrounding the cell which protects its content from the cell?
The protective barrier surrounding the cell is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. It regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the cell, providing a barrier to protect the cell's contents and maintain its internal environment.
Does the cell membrane keep the cell wall in place?
No, the cell wall and cell membrane are separate structures. The cell wall is a rigid layer found outside the cell membrane in plant cells that provides structure and support, while the cell membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell.
What acts as a barrier between the inside of the cell and the cell's environment?
Cell membrane
What is the thin flexible membrane around all cells?
the cell membrane is as flexible barrier outside of the cell.
What do you mean by cell-wall in plant?
the plant cell wall is like a animal cell membrane it is just the barrier for the cell
What protective barrier separates a cell's contents from the cell's environment?
A cell membrane, or cell wall.
What is the outside barrier of a cell called?
cell wall I think because that is what it is for a plant cell.
What is the protective barrier of a cell?
The protective barrier of a cell is its cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane. It surrounds the cell, providing structure and separating the cell's internal environment from the external environment. The cell membrane regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell to maintain homeostasis.
Is the barrier between the interior of a human cell and its external environment known as the cell wall?
No, the barrier between the interior of a human cell and its external environment is known as the cell membrane or plasma membrane, not the cell wall. The cell wall is a rigid layer found in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria, providing structural support and protection.
Is the cell wall a flexible barrier?
No, the cell wall is not a flexible barrier. It is a rigid structure that provides support and protection to the cell. The flexibility of a cell is mainly determined by its plasma membrane, which is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell.
What protective barrier separates cells contents from the cells environment?
A cell membrane, or cell wall.
What is the boundary surrounding all cells?
The cell membrane is the boundary surrounding all cells. It is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.
What is the protective barrier surrounding the cell which protects its content from the cell?
The protective barrier surrounding the cell is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. It regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the cell, providing a barrier to protect the cell's contents and maintain its internal environment.
What is the organelle that surrounds the cell and protects it?
the cell membrane the cell membrane
