CHONP stands for carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus. Carbon is a component of  various organic compounds and it also present in DNA, proteins and nucleic acids. Hydrogen is found in water, which is a universal solvent and it also participates in photosynthesis.  Oxygen is a component of water and it is involved in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.  Nitrogen is very important in protein synthesis; proteins stores information about DNA. Phosphorus is found in phoospholipids, ATP and DNA.

Answer

Complex barrier to the flow of substances out of the cells,and restrictions to inflow of unwanted substances into the cells. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature of the cell membrane controls the entry of substances from the extracellular medium into the intracellualr. In addition the polarity restricts certain substance movement across the walls.

Serve as the selective channels  for the  influx of certain substances into the cells, and the out flux of wastes.This is through ion channels for the movements of ions across.

Provide insulation to the cells,to maintain the constant internal temperature,this is through the presence of lipids as( Phospholipids and cholesterol).The latter prevent the clogging of the lipids in the cell membrane therefore preventing frozen up of the cell membrane,providing insulation.

Separation of metabolic process in the cell.

Explanation:

Cell membrane-This is present in all cells.But the variation of its constituents makes it unique to each cell. Although it performs the same role, the location and role the cells it bounded, reflects its  constituents, it is made up of lipids, carbohydrate, protein and cholesterol
