Answer:

The correct answer would be  D.  encloses specific structures.

It surrounds or encloses the cytoplasm (contains specific organelles or structures) of the cell and thus physically separate the intracellular components from the external or extracellualar environment.

Which of the following samples has the greatest population density?
Andrews [41]

The right answer is D.

The density of a given population is calculated by dividing the number of inhabitants by the area expressed in km² (or in hectares).


Number of inhabitants ÷ area (in km²) = number of inhabitants / km²



A = 125000 organism/ 2.5 m2 = 50,000 organisms / m2


B = 13000 organisms / m2


C = 37500 organisms / m2


D = 200000 organisms / m2
