The plasma membrane (cell membrane) is made of two layers of phospholipids.
The plasma membrane has many proteins embedded in it.
The plasma membrane regulates the entry and exit of the cell. Many molecules cross the cell membrane by diffusion and osmosis.
The fundamental structure of the membrane is phospho lipid bilayer and it forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments.
The proteins present in the plasma membrane, act as pumps, channels, receptors, enzymes or structural components.
Plasma Membrane Structure
It is the boundary, which separates the living cell from their non-living surroundings.
It is the phospholipids bilayer.
Plasma membrane is an amphipathic, which contains both hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.
It is a fluid mosaic of lipids, proteins and carbohydrate.
It is lipid bilayer, which contains -two layers of phospholipids, phosphate head is polar (water loving), fatty acid tails non-polar (water fearing) and the proteins embedded in membrane.

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane,and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).[1][2] It consists of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles. In this way, it is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules.[3] In addition, cell membranes are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion conductivity and cell signallingand serve as the attachment surface for several extracellular structures, including the cell wall, the carbohydrate layer called the glycocalyx, and the intracellular network of protein fibers called the cytoskeleton. In the field of synthetic biology, cell membranes can be artificially reassembled.
