Answers
Answer:
your answer !
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is the outer membrane of the cell it delimits the cell itself and a cell interior with specific conditions for the cellular function. Since it is selectively permeable the plasma membrane has an important role for the passage of substances inwards or outwards.

PLASMA MEMBRANE ::
➡It is a selectively permeable membrane.
➡It is a membrane which interacts with the outside world.
➡This structure is present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Composition of cell membrane ::
➡The cell membrane is composed of lipids that are arranged in bilayer .
➡which has Hydrophobic (non polar) tail towards the inner side.
➡And Hydrophilic (polar) head which is outside.
➡Later bio chemical investigation clearly revealed that cell membrane also possess protein and carbohydrate.
➡ 52% protein 40% lipids.
FUNCTIONS OF PLASMA MEMBRANE
❇It's main function is to pass molecules through It either by active,, passive,, neutral.
❇The fluid nature of plasma membrane helps in cell growth,, formation of intercellular junctions.
❇Secretion,, endocytosis,, Cell division.
