NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the fundamental differences between the plasma membrane and the cell wall is in the type of organisms that they are found. The cell wall is present only in plants and the cell membrane is present in every living organism including plants. Present only in plants and in some fungi, bacteria, algae.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells of bacteria, fungi, algae, and higher plants are surrounded by rigid cell walls, which are an integral part of the cell. Although not encased in cell walls, animal cells in tissues are closely associated with an extracellular matrix composed of proteins and polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both prokaryotes (single-celled organisms that lack a distinct nucleus and other organelles) and eukaryotes (single-celled or multicellular organisms whose cells have a distinct nucleus and various organelles) have cell membranes that help the cell remain separate, in a sense, from the outside world.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
