Answer:

Despite differences in structure and function, all living cells in multicellular organisms have a surrounding cell membrane. As the outer layer of your skin separates your body from its environment, the cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane) separates the inner contents of a cell from its exterior environment. This cell membrane provides a protective barrier around the cell and regulates which materials can pass in or out.

Answer:

Small pores are effective in cellular transportation as compared to large pores.

Explanation:

If the pores of the cell membrane become large in size then the rate of diffusion into and out of the cell would be very fast. This is not a good situation as in an organism with uncontrolled/high rate of cellular transfers could lead to death of cells. Hence small pores are effective in maintaining the required permeability , material transfers across the membrane, turbidity and water pressure for osmosis.
