Biology Quiz: Structure And Function Of Cell Membrane!
Thin membranes bound all living cells and many of the tiny organelles internal to cells. The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles while protecting the cell from it’s surrounding. Take up the quiz below and get to see how much you understood about its structure and how it helps it attain its functions.
