Well...no.
The cell wall is a rigid structure made from(in the case of plant cells rather than bacteria or fungi) cellulose and other rigid fibers.
The cell membrane is a fluid, thinner structure made up of a double layer of phospholipids which are comprised of the hydrophilic heads facing outwards and hydrophobic tails facing toward each other in the layer. I tried to make a visual example below. The circles are the heads adn teh lines are the tails.

There's more on the membrane I could go into in terms of embedded proteins and different types of phospho-heads, but I don't think your question requires such details.
No, cell walls are rigid structures made of cellulose and other materials that surround the cell membrane in plant cells, providing support and protection. The cell membrane, on the other hand, is a phospholipid bilayer that surrounds all types of cells and regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell.

What structure around the outside of the plant cell keeps them from rupturing from too much water?
Cell Wall
Strong supportive structure surrounding cell membrane?
the cell wall
What type of organism has a cell membrane flagellum and a cell wall?
A bacterium typically has a cell membrane, flagellum for movement, and a cell wall for structure and protection.
The protective covering on the outside of the cell is called the?
For plant cells, they have a cell membrane and covering the cell membrane is a cell wall. The cell wall is for the structure of the plant. For animal cells, they just have a cell membrane.
What structure surrounds the cell membrane (in plants) and gives the cell support?
Cell Wall
What is a structure outside the plasma membrane?
cell wall cell wall
Structure outside the plasma membrane is what?
cell wall cell wall
What structure is outside the cell membrane?
The cell wall is the structure outside the cell membrane in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria. It provides structural support and protection to the cell.
What structure in a plant cell may force the cell membrane into contact with the cell wall?
The structure in a plant cell that may force the cell membrane into contact with the cell wall is the plasma membrane. This will also come into contact with the vesicle membrane.
What structure around the outside of the plant cell keeps them from rupturing from too much water?
Cell Wall
What are cell structure?
Cell membrane, vacuole, nucleus are all part of a cell. They are the cell structure.#doesntmake sence
What is the structure that surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell?
The cell membrane is the structure that surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell. It is made up of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that selectively allow certain molecules and ions to pass through the membrane.

What structure surrounds the cell membrane in a plant cell?
It is called the cell wall
What is the supportive structure of a cell or organ called?
cell wall/cell membrane
Which structure makes a plant cell rigid chromosome or chloroplast or cell wall or cell membrane?
cell wall
Strong supportive structure surrounding cell membrane?
the cell wall
