1) The periphery of the cell is is its outside boundary, parts or surface. In this sense, it the peripheris is made of the cell membrane, the cell wall, diverse structures outside the cell wall (like flagella) and the part of the cell content near the membrane.
If the cell has a nucleus, it is usually not at the periphery.
2) "All cells, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic, have a membrane that envelops the cell, separates its interior from its environment, regulates what moves in and out (selectively permeable), and maintains the electric potential of the cell. Inside the membrane, a salty cytoplasm takes up most of the cell volume."
