Answer:

The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment which protects the cell from its environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer, including cholesterols that sit between phospholipids to maintain their fluidity at various temperatures.

Step-by step Explanation:

The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane. It is the outermost covering of animal cells. It is a semi-permeable membrane composed of lipids and proteins. The main functions of the cell membrane include:

  • Protecting the integrity of the interior cell.
  • Providing support and maintaining the shape of the cell.
  • Helps in regulating cell growth through the balance of endocytosis and exocytosis.
  • The cell membrane also plays an important role in cell signalling and communication.
  • It acts as a selectively permeable membrane by allowing the entry of only selected substances into the cell.
