I can’t see the diagram you’re referring to. Could you upload the image or describe what structures 1 and 2 look like?
Meanwhile, a quick identification tip:
- The cell membrane (plasma membrane) is a thin, flexible layer that directly surrounds the cytoplasm. In plant cells it lies just inside the thicker, rigid cell wall; in animal cells it is the outermost boundary.
- The cell wall (if present) is thicker and more rigid and lies outside the membrane.
If in your diagram 1 is the thin line just inside a thicker outer layer, then 1 = cell membrane. If 2 is the thin inner line (or the only outer boundary in an animal cell), then 2 = cell membrane.
