Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plasma membrane controls the flow of substances in and out of cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -These molecules pass across membranes via the action of specific transmembrane proteins, which act as transporters. Such transport proteins determine the selective permeability of cell membranes and thus play a critical role in membrane function.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nuclear pores, small channels that span the nuclear envelope, let substances enter and exit the nucleus. Each pore is lined by a set of proteins, called the nuclear pore complex, that control what molecules can go in or out.
