Question

plasma membrane function of 8th standard

Answer 1

The thin outer layer of the cell is called the cell membrane or the plasma membrane. It separates the cell and its contents from the surroundings. It protects the cell and gives it a shape. It is selectively permeable and allows water, minerals and other necessary substances to pass through it.

Answer 2

The primary function of the plasma membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. Composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells.
