What is the cell membranes structure and function?
What I have studied till now, The structure of cell membrane varies in plants and animals. In plants, the cell membranes are more uniform and regular whereas in animals the shape can be irregular also. The plasma membrane in selective-permeable in nature i.e. it allows the entry and exit of some particular substances and organisms only. The functions of cell membrane are:- 1.It provides shape and structure to the cell. 2.It holds all the fluids and cell organelles and provides a suitable environment to them. 3.They are flexible as they are made up really smaller constituents. 4. It keeps a contact with the immediate external environment and also protects the content of the cell from adverse and unsuitable conditions.
