Which Is the Membrane Surrounding the Cell?

The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.

What are the 3 cell membranes?

The cell membrane consists of three classes of amphipathic lipids: phospholipids, glycolipids, and sterols.

Like mitochondria, chloroplasts are surrounded by two membranes. The outer membrane is permeable to small organic molecules, whereas the inner membrane is less permeable and studded with transport proteins.
