Answer 2

Answer: Read explanation

Explanation: there’s actually no similarity at all. A cell membrane is made of phospholipids, globular proteins, glycolipids, glycoproteins, and cholesterol, and has passages that serve explicitly for passive and active transport of materials through it.

The skin is made of cells and dead keratin and serves as much as possible to prevent most substances from moving through it. It’s “designed” for toughness and distensibility, not for selective permeability.

All in all, the difference is that a cell membrane is explicitly and only for the passing and transport of materials through it, and the skin in the skin is made to be tough and durable, almost the opposite of a cell membrane.
