Cell Membrane
Location - Surronding the outside of an animal cell
Sturcture - Bilayer of phospholipids with embedded proteins.
Function - Controls what gets in and what goes out, allows cell to have different chemical enviroment than its surrondings.
Friends - Cell wall, nucleus

Cillia and Flagella
Location - Extended from the cell membrane
Sturcture - Cilia - Short, hair-like extensions.
Flagella - Long, hair-like structures.
Fucntion - Cilia - Move water past the cell and collect foreign objects.
Flagella - Important in movement.
