  • Protective function: Cell membrane safeguards the cytoplasm and the organelles present in the cytoplasm
  • Selective permeability: Cell membrane serves as a semipermeable membrane, which permits just some substances to go through it and serves as a barrier for other substances
  • Absorptive function: Nutrients are soaked up into the cell through the cell membrane
