are enclosed within the cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane. The membrane
separates cells from one another and also the cell from the surrounding medium. The plasma
membrane is porous and allows the movement of substances or materials both inward and
outward. The boundary of the onion cell is the cell membrane covered by another thick
covering called the cell wall.
a) Why do only plants cells have cell wall?
b) Explain some of the characteristics of plasma membrane.
c) List two differences between plant cell and animal cell.
d) Which organelle is responsible for heredity?
