Apr 27, 2017 · A cell wall is an outer layer surrounding certain cells that is outside of the cell membrane. All cells have cell membranes, but generally only plants, fungi, algae, most bacteria, and archaea have cells with cell walls.
Apr 1, 2021 · The cell membrane surrounds the outside of the cell, the nucleus is found in the middle of the cell, and the cytoplasm fills the gap between the two. Buried in the cytoplasm are hundreds or thousands of subcellular structures called organelles.

Jul 30, 2022 · Despite differences in structure and function, all living cells in multicellular organisms have a surrounding cell membrane. As the outer layer of your skin separates your body from its environment, the cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane) separates the inner contents of a cell from its exterior environment.
May 16, 2024 · The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a thin, semi-permeable barrier that surrounds and encloses the contents of a cell. It separates the interior of the cell from the external environment, protecting the cell and regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
