Answer 1

Answer:

Thank you for asking the question ! Animal and plant cell differ in their outer layer . In case of animal the membrane which protect the inner contents of the cell is called cell membrane and in plant cell its cell wall . Here we will specifically talk about animal cell . The plasma membrane in animals not only act as a protective layer but it also controls the flow of water , nutrients and minerals . As plasma membrane is porous so it lets some substances to pass through it . In this way it keeps the cell strong and healthy . Hope it helps

it is covered with a membrane how do these things reach inside the cell. Minerals and nutrients are able to reach inside the cells because the cell membranes are semi- permeable and allow certain substances to pass through it. ...

Answer 2

The cell membrane forms a selective barrier around a cell and restricts the entry of many substances. However, cell membrane allows entry of water, minerals and other substances, which are essential for the survival of a cell.
