GO:0019867 outer membrane The external membrane of Gram-negative bacteria or certain organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts; freely permeable to most ions and metabolites.
GO:0005623 cell The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. Includes the plasma membrane and any external encapsulating structures such as the cell wall and cell envelope.
GO:0044464 cell part Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms.
GO:0005575 cellular_component The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together.
GO:0071944 cell periphery The part of a cell encompassing the cell cortex, the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures.
GO:0031975 envelope A multilayered structure surrounding all or part of a cell; encompasses one or more lipid bilayers, and may include a cell wall layer; also includes the space between layers.
GO:0030312 external encapsulating structure A structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell.
GO:0044462 external encapsulating structure part Any constituent part of an external encapsulating structure, a structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell.
GO:0030313 cell envelope An envelope that surrounds a bacterial cell and includes the cytoplasmic membrane and everything external, encompassing the periplasmic space, cell wall, and outer membrane if present.
GO:0009279 cell outer membrane A lipid bilayer that forms the outermost membrane of the cell envelope; enriched in polysaccharide and protein; the outer leaflet of the membrane contains specific lipopolysaccharide structures.
