Structure & Function of the Plasma Membrane ELECTRON MICROGRAPH (CELL MEMBRANE) WHAT ARE MEMBRANES? Membranes cover the surface of every cell, and also surround most organelles within cells. They have a number of functions, such as: ● keeping all cellular components inside the cell ● allowing selected molecules to move in and out of the cell ● isolating organelles from the rest of the cytoplasm, allowing cellular processes to occur separately. ● a site for biochemical reactions ● allowing a cell to change shape.
