Cell Membranes enclose
the entire cell, the nucleus, and all the organelles. The membranes hold the
cell and each of its parts together.
Most membranes consist
of a double layer of a fatty substance called phospholipid. Proteins occur at
various points and extend to different depths within the double layer of phospholipids.
Only needed materials
can enter the cell and its parts because of the structure and chemical
composition of the membranes.
