What is the plasma membrane aka phospholipid bilayer?

The plasma membrane, also known as the phospholipid bilayer, is a thin, semipermeable membrane that surrounds the cell. It consists of a double layer of phospholipid molecules with embedded proteins that control the movement of substances in and out of the cell. The plasma membrane is essential for maintaining the cell's structure and functions.

What is diffusion and how does it relate to plasma membrane?

Diffusion is simply the movement of one molecule from an area of high concentration to low concentration. It is semi related to the plasma membrane because plasma membrane does allow diffusion, to an extent. Plasma membrane is semipermeable and only allows certain things to diffuse in or diffuse out.

This structure is the outermost boundary of the cell and is semipermeable?

The structure you are referring to is the cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane. It surrounds the cell, acts as a barrier, and regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell through selective permeability.
