Answer;

Cell membrane


A cell membrane acts as a boundary that separates things that are inside the system from those that are outside the system.

Explanation;

It is a thin semipermeable structure that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell.

The membrane functions to protect the integrity of the internal environment of the cell by allowing selective movements of materials in and out of the cell.

The membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. diffusion and osmosis across semi-permeable membranes

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a high energy carrying molecule in the system of living organisms. It posseses the ability to store and release energy for use by organisms during biochemical activities. However, some processes do not require ATP to occur and are called PASSIVE TRANSPORT while those that require energy (ATP) are called ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

In the above options, the processes listed as follows require ATP to occur:

- The active transport of glucose from the small intestine to the blood

- The movement of the flagella of sperm for motility

- Exocytosis of waste substances across a semi-permeable membrane

However, the diffusion and osmosis across semi-permeable membranes, which is a passive transport does not require ATP.
