offers the fol low ing expla na tion for the cell mem brane:

. . . all these early cells were cov ered with an outer sur face
mem brane, and in that sense, we may refer to a prop er ty com -
mon to them all, because the pre con di tion of being able to per -
form mate ri al assim i la tion is to some extent inde pend ent of

between the organ ic sys tem and exter nal fac tors by mak ing
the sys tem rel a tive ly inde pend ent of the envi ron ment and
con di tions around it. In those terms, we have to assume that

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Cell membrane
Mitochondrial
undulations Mitochondrion
Nuclear
pores
Nucleolus

Nuclear envelope Chromatin

Golgi apparatus Ribosomes

Centriole
Granular endo-
plasmic reticulum
Lysosomes

The cell and its other organelles could not exist without the selectively per-
meable membrane. The cell needs to possess a membrane to prevent
harmful substances entering from the outside, and to nourish by admitting
the needed substances.
