In school I learned 2 as the correct answer. The cell membrane chooses which substances to allow in and out of cell - is what my teacher's definition was.

The correct answer is option 2, that is, the cell membrane lets certain substances enter the cell and keeps certain substances out of the cell.

All the cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. The cells membrane is selectively permeable, that is, it allows only some of the ions or molecules to pass through them by assistance of active or passive transport. For example, the molecules of water can passes passively through small pores on the membrane.

What is the likelihood of a category 5 hurricane making landfall in Maryland?<br>​
Hoochie [10]

Answer: Not likely

Explanation:

Hurricanes can be devastating if they make landfall in an area and even if they do not, can cause excessive rainfall that can lead to flooding in other areas. One of such areas is Maryland.

Even though Maryland has seen its fair share of effects from hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions, there has not been a single storm making landfall at hurricane intensity in Maryland since the mid twentieth century. Hurricane Agnes for instance, caused the deaths of 19 people due to the floods it caused.
