Description English:
The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane or plasmalemma, is a
semipermeable lipid bilayer common to all living cells. It contains a variety
of biological molecules, primarily proteins and lipids, which are involved in a
vast array of cellular processes. It also serves as the attachment point for
both the intracellular cytoskeleton and, if present, the cell wall.
