describe the structure of the cell membrane

OpenStudy (aroub):

All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane, a thin structure with tiny openings ( pores ) that covers the cell and holds it together.

It is embedded with many different proteins of various function. Many of these proteins shuffle substances from inside the cell out, or vice versa.
