Answer:

Cell membrane is the organelle forms the surface of a cell separating its content from the outside world.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It is outer most layer of cell which is a barrier for molecules and ions freely floating outside to enter the cell.
  • It is usually made up of lipid bilayer with some proteins embedded in it.
  • The lipid layer made it hydrophobic which repels water content from both sides.
