Answer:

to provide a barrier to the movement of substances in and out of the cell

Explanation:

Lipid molecules in the plasma membrane form a lipid bilayer which creates a semi-permeable barrier between the inside and the outside of the cell. Water and small molecules can cross the membrane. Other large molecules like ions cannot.

Hope that helps.
