Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane)

What does it do?

The cell membrane is a thin, flexible skin just inside the cell wall. It controls what goes in and out of the cell — like a security gate. Only the right things are allowed through!

Think of it like...

Think of it like the doors and windows of a house. They let fresh air and people in, but keep out rain, bugs, and burglars.

🌟 Fun Fact

The cell membrane is so thin you'd need to stack about 10,000 of them to be as thick as a single sheet of paper!
