Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -That’s because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane-which, much like the walls of a house, serves as a clear boundary between the cell’s internal and external environments. The cell membrane is sometimes also referred to as the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell membrane It maintains the integrity of a cell and controls passage of materials into and out of the cell. All materials within a cell must have access to the cell membrane (the cell’s boundary) for the needed exchange. The cell membrane is a double layer of phospholipid molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The outer lining of a eukaryotic cell is called the plasma membrane. This membrane serves to separate and protect a cell from its surrounding environment and is made mostly from a double layer of proteins and lipids, fat-like molecules.
