What is the function of the cell membrane?
yes, cell membrane does maintain the shape of a cell...but this is not its major function! a cell membrane protects the interior contents present in the cell from spilling out into the external environment! it also protects the cell from harmful substances present in the external environment from entering into the cell! amoeba forms different shapes while feeding...you might have noticed this...without a cell membrane it would become clumpsy n like a fluid widout any purpose in its living! cell membrane maintains shape, rigidity n also protects the cell thereby helping it in its survival
Protection mainly. It controls what comes in and out of the cell.
