Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The production of proteins used in construction of the cell wall is not a function of the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is responsible for regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell, separating the cell's internal environment from its external environment, facilitating communication between cells, and maintaining connections between adjacent cells.
