The cell membrane is composed of different kinds of molecules. The phospholipid chains surround the cell and is what the cell membrane is primarily made of. Around the cell, you can also find proteins embedded on or all the way through the cell. This protein helps large molecules from outside the cell or inside the cell to go in or out. Between the phospholipid is also cholesterol which helps the cell membrane fluidity.
This all being said, there are three things that make up the cell membrane:
# The phospholipid bilayer
# The protein inside and outside the cell # cholesterol between some phospholipid chains.
The cell membrane acts as the barrier and transport proteins present in the membrane, such as globular proteins, transport molecules across cell membranes.
The plasma membrane is present in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It is the semi-permeable membrane that encloses the cell. So to clearly answer your question, the plasma membrane is found on the outside of the cell; it encircles the cell.
protein molecules in the cell membrane gives the mosaic structure .
Some molecules can't go through the cell membrane.
this is the cell membrane made primarily of lipid molecules with proteins incorporated into it that aid in transport of molecules across the membrane
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
Osmosis transports water molecules across a partially permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. It does not transport other types of materials, like ions or larger molecules.
The cell membrane, which surrounds the cell and is responsible for which molecules are allowed to diffuse into or out of the cell and which molecules are impermeable to the membrane
The cell membrane acts as the barrier and transport proteins present in the membrane, such as globular proteins, transport molecules across cell membranes.
The two major parts of active transport are endocytosis and exocytosis. Endocytosis is taking material into the cell by means of infoldings in the cell membrane. There are two types of endocytosis: phagocytosis (large molecules) and pinocytosis (small molecules). Exocytosis is the release of materials from a cell. The vacuole membrane and the cell membrane fuse together and the contents are released.

Yes, small hydrophobic molecules can cross the cell membrane.
The cell membrane is the thing that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane contains proteins that allow active transport of molecules in and out of the cell.
