# 6-1 My Membrane!

For life to exist as we know it, the cell membrane plays the most important role, both for single-celled and multi-celled organisms. It is through the cell membrane, all cells interact with their immediate environment. It has been said, "Life is defined by the cell membrane." -jlw
Explain this statement; what was meant? Relate your answer to the structure and function of the cell's membrane.

I think what it is trying to hint towards is that since the cell membrane contains the nucleus, which holds the DNA of the life form; we can define what that type of life it is by looking into the cell membrane.
