The Cell Membrane physically separates the intracellular components from the extracellular environment. It helps in anchoring the cytoskeleton to provide shape to the cell, and in attaching to the extracellular matrix and other cells to help group cells together to form tissues. It also works as a selective filter that allows only certain things to come inside or go outside the cell.

What does a cell membran do in a plant cell?
it pro tects it
Where is the cell membrane in relationship to the cell wall in plant cells?
cell membran
Is cytoplasm in between the cell membrane and the nucleus?
yes cytoplasm is in between the celll membrane and the nucleus.the cell membran is the outer layer that holds the cell together.but the nucleus is the main part of the cell so yes it is.
How a cell performs its function?
a cell permorms its function very uniquely cell helps in division and cell cycle too!
What is a ribosomes function in a prokaryotic cell?
The function is same as of eukaryotic cell i-e they make proteins for the cell
What does a cell membran do in a plant cell?
it pro tects it
Does animal cell have better protection than plant cells?
plant cells are more protected because they have a cell wall and animals cells dont they just have a membran plant cells also have a membran and a cell wall around the membran
Where is the cell membrane in relationship to the cell wall in plant cells?
cell membran
What is an cell membran?
Protein, because thats what the cell membrane does (delivers protein to the cell)
What would happen if cell membrane had too much water?
the cell membran will get harder
Do white blood cell have a cell membran?
Yes they do possess double layer membrane.
Which transport process does the cell use to direct the contents of vesicles out of the cell membran?
Exocytosis
Why is it important to have a cell membran when there is a cell wall?
The cell membrane allows the movement of substances in and out of the cell while the cell wall just gives the plant cell its firm shape.
How is the cell wall different from the cellmembrane?
a cellwall is a hard fibrous structure where as the cell membran is like cling film, its really thin and flimsy
Which is an example of how the cells membran of the tube worm maintains a stable environment?
It prevents minerals in the water from flowing into the cell
Cell wall cell membran and tonoplast which boundry is partially permeable?
yes, it has to be (semi-permeable, to let the cell membrane conrol the process of osmosis(e.g water will go in, but not sugar)
Is cytoplasm in between the cell membrane and the nucleus?
yes cytoplasm is in between the celll membrane and the nucleus.the cell membran is the outer layer that holds the cell together.but the nucleus is the main part of the cell so yes it is.
