\t\t\tPlasma Membrane is a delicate, thin structure of around 5-10nm wide and is visible under electron microscope, and it is present in all types of cell, helps in the passage of molecules and protects the protoplasm.Cell Wall is a thick, rigid structure of around 4-20um wide and is visible under light microscope; it is present in plant cell, bacterial and fungal cell, helps in providing shape and rigidity to the cell.Plasma Membrane is present in all types of cells.Cell Wall is present in the plant cell, bacteria, fungi and algae.Made up of lipids and proteins and carbohydrates.Made up of cellulose (plant cell), chitin (fungi), and peptidoglycan (bacteria).Thin layers and is visible only through the electron microscope.Thick layers which are visible through the light microscope.Semi-permeable.Completely permeable.Plasma membrane have receptors, helps in cell-cell communication.Cell wall does not have receptors.Metabolically active and living.Inactive and non-living.Same thickness throughout its life.Thickness grows with life.Need proper nutrition to survive.Doesn\'t need any nutrition from cell but deposition instead.\t
