The plasma membrane, also called the cell membrane, is the membrane found in all cells that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. In bacterial and plant cells, a cell wall is attached to the plasma membrane on its outside surface.
Is a cell membrane in a plant or animal cell?
Animal cells do not have a cell wall but have a cell membrane. Plant cells have a cell wall composed of cellulose as well as a cell membrane.
Where is the cell membrane located plant or animal cell?
In plants, the cell membrane is located between the cell cytoplasm and the cell wall. As is the case with animal cells, the cell membrane in plants is a lipid bilayer. It's made up of phospholipids and also contains protein and carbohydrate molecules.
