Plasma Membrane Mcqs
The cell membrane or plasma membrane is generally found existing in all cells, which distinguishes the inside of the cell from its exterior. In plant and bacterial cells, the cell wall is found fastened to the plasma membrane on its exterior surface. This membrane regulates the transportation of particles which enter and exit the cell, and comprises a lipid bilayer which is naturally semipermeable.
