cell membrane

The thin covering that surrounds cells is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. It is a selectively permeable membrane made up of lipids and proteins that encloses the cytoplasm and other cell contents, separating them from the extracellular environment. The cell membrane plays a crucial role in regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell and maintaining cell homeostasis.
