What are the primary functions of the plasma membrane in all cells?
What will be an ideal response?
In both bacteria and higher eukaryotic cells, the plasma membrane provides similar functions. These include regulation of nutrient transport into the cell and release of metabolic waste to the extracellular environment. By allowing certain material to pass in and out of the cell, and preventing other material from passing in and out of the cell, the plasma membrane acts to set up a molecular environment inside the cell that is different from the extracellular environment.
