Every cell, whether it be a prokaryote, a eukaryote, plant, or animal, is enclosed by cell membrane (plasma membrane) created of a phospholipid bilayer. This membrane serves as to protect the cell as well as regulate objects going into and coming out of the cell. The cell membrane is created of various parts, and is commonly referred to with the fluid mosaic model. Embedded in the membrane are glycolipids and glycoproteins, which help with cell-to-cell interactions. Also in the membrane are transmembrane proteins, also known as protein channels. These channels regulate what diffuses in and out of the cell. In endocytosis, parts of the cellular membrane pinch off to form vesicles. This is the opposite of exocytosis, where the vesicles join with the cellular membrane and release waste.

In plant cells and prokaryotic organisms, the cell membrane is surrounded by a cell wall. This extra layer of cells serves as to stabilize the cell, as it is more stronger than the cell membrane.
