The nucleus houses the genetic info of a cell. :)
Only the strongest live on to pass on their genes. the weak die
I think the scientist distinguish whether an entity is living or non living be describing the single unit of life, the live cell that could multiply, reproduce and generate trough time also through ages. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
It is very important for the cell membrane to be <em>semi-permeable</em> because the ability to pick and choose what comes in and out of the cell keeps the cell safe! The membrane can choose to block out nasty germs and can also choose to get rid of internal waste.
An example of when this is important is in this scenario:
Let's say the cells are in a really salty solution. Naturally, salt will want to pull the water out of the cell. If the membrane <u>wasn't</u><u> </u> semi permeable, the water would listen to the salt and leave the cell. This would cause cell death. <u>BECAU</u><u>SE</u> the membrane is semi permeable, they can choose <em>not</em> to give the salt any water, keeping them alive
Hope this helps
