Answer:
- The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane (PM) or cytoplasmic membrane.
- It is historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space) which protects the cell from its environment.
FUNCTIONS :-
- The cell membrane is selectively permeable and able to regulate what enters and exits the cell, thus facilitating the transport of materials needed for survival.
- The movement of substances across the membrane can be either "passive", occurring without the input of cellular energy, or "active", requiring the cell to expend energy in transporting it.
- The membrane also maintains the cell potential.
- The cell membrane thus works as a selective filter that allows only certain things to come inside or go outside the cell.
