The cell membrane was discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke. It is a thin bilayer of phospholipid molecules that surrounds the cell and protects and supports it while regulating what enters and exits. It maintains the cell's shape and works with other organelles by protecting the interior of the cell.

1. Cell Membrane By: Allan Boswell

2. When/Who Discovered It? Robert Hook discovered the cell membrane in 1665, at England. http://www.chacha.com/question/who-discovered-the-cell-membrane

3. How Big Is IT!? It’s a thin, long line that surrounds the cell.

4. What’s It Made OF!? The cell membrane is made up of two layers of molecules, which is why it’s called “bilayer.” The molecules are called phospholipids. https://www.etap.org/demo/biology1/instruction1tutor.html

5. What Does This Organelle DO!? It protects and supports the cell as well as allowing it to regulate what goes in it, like food, water, and other materials. It restricts movement and supports shape. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_the_cell_membrane_do_for_a_cell

6. How Does This Organelle Work With OTHERS!? This cell protects the main cell by regulating what goes in it. It also helps the main cell maintain it’s cell shape.

7. What Does This Organelle Look LIKE!? The cell membrane looks like a thin line surrounding the cell. Looks like a jelly-like substance. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_cell_membrane_look_like

8. What Is The Cellular Location Of Your Organelle? It’s surrounding the whole cell. In a plant cell, the cell membrane is protected along with the cell wall. As for the animal cell, it’s the first thin line. http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/biobookcell2.html
