Expert Solution
Introduction:

The plasma membrane is the edge of the cells and it monitors the movement of different molecules into and out of the cells, including sugar, amino acids, ions, and water.
The plasma membrane surface restricts the material exchange between the cell and the atmosphere. Some cells are specialized in waste or nutrient replacement and have changes that expand the plasma membrane region. For example, the membranes of certain cells which absorb nutrients are plugged into finger-like projections that facilitate the process.
