Cell Membrane

The cell boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell

Real World Example

Imagine you're hosting a party and need to decide who can enter and who should stay outside. This situation is similar to how a cell membrane functions, as it selectively allows certain substances to enter or exit the cell, just like you determine which guests are allowed entry. The cell membrane acts as the gatekeeper of the cell, much like you are the gatekeeper at your party, ensuring that only the right molecules come in and out, maintaining the cell's internal environment just as you maintain the atmosphere of your party.
