Answer:

Chain-link fence

Step-by-step explanation:

Cell membranes are barriers that decide which molecules enter and exit the cell, and how much of them come in. So things are able to pass through them.

If it were a brick wall, it would not let anything pass through.

So it is more like a chain-link fence, but with more control over what passes through it.
