The membrane that separates the cell's interior from its external environment is called the plasma membrane. 

It primarily consists of a phospholipid bilayer embedded with globular proteins, carbohydrates, and conjugated molecules. 

The phospholipids have a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobic interior. The semipermeable plasma membrane controls the flow of substances into and out of the cell.
