Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuoles, while animal cells do not.
