Get ready for this Cell membrane and transport quiz. How much do you know about cell membrane and transport? The cell membrane's four primary functions include cell signaling, selective transport, excretion of wastes, and structural support. It is a thin, flexible coating around the cells of all living things. It is often described as the plasma membrane. Cell transport refers to the movement of substances across the cell membrane. This quiz is all about the study and function of cells. Get started and prove your knowledge.
