1. It allows communication with other cells.
2. It protects the cell.
3. It is flexible, yet provides structural support.
4. It is semipermeable, which allows smaller molecules like H2O and other substances to readily diffuse without the need up energy.
5. It prevents harmful substances from entering the cell.
