for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in others. Thus the cell membrane supports the cell and helps in maintaining the shape of the cell.
The cell membrane is primarily composed of proteins and lipids. While lipids help to give membranes their flexibility and proteins monitor and maintain the cell's chemical climate and assist in the transfer of molecules across the membrane.
The lipid bilayer is semi-permeable, which allows only selected molecules to diffuse across the membrane.

Hey mate...Here is your answer!
Plasma membrane is the biological membrane which is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It is called as cell membrane since it acts as a barrier between the outer and inner surface of a cell. Plasma membrane is present in the outer most layer of the cell in animal cellsand it is present beneath the cell wall in plant cells.
Function of plasma membrane

Plasma membrane separates the components of the cell from its outside environment.It regulates what enters and exits the cell.It allows only selected substances into the cell and keeps others out.Plasma membrane has a major role in protecting the integrity of the interior of the cell.Plasma membrane serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and cell walls in other organisms. Thus it supports the cell and helps in maintaining the shape of the cell.Plasma membrane is composed of lipids and proteins. Lipids give flexibility to membranes and proteins maintain the chemical climate of the cell and help in transfer of molecules across the membrane.The lipid bi layer is semi permeable, that is, it allows selected molecules to diffuse across the membrane.
