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: -The plasma membrane is called as selectively permeable membrane because it regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
