Answer:
A. Cell
B. Organ
C. Tissue
Explanation:
cell: The smallest unit of life capable of independent reproduction. Generally contains nucleic acid, cytoplasm, a cell membrane, and many other proteins and structures.
organ: A structure made of different tissues that work together to perform physiological functions.
Tissues: A group of similar cells with the same origin that work together to perform the same function.
A. Lipid bilayer: the phospholipid bilayer is the membrane of a cell. The bilayer contains lipids, membrane proteins, cholesterol, receptors for various molecules, pumps to transport ions and solutes against the concentration gradient, and many other items necessary for a cell to function and work together with other cells.
b. Osmotic pressure: Osmosis is the flow of water across a semipermeable barrier from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration. Osmotic pressure is the lowest possible pressure to prevent this water movement.
c. Endoplasmic Reticulum: the Rough ER synthesizes proteins for use outside the cell. The Smooth ER produces lipids and some steroidal hormones.
A. Lipid Bilayer is therefore the correct answer. Osmotic pressure does not involve the various components of the cell membrane, and the ER's produce proteins and hormones. Therefore A is right.

Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of relatively constant internal body processes. This is done in two ways
- <em>Negative feedbacks</em>
- <em>Positive feedbacks</em>
Negative feedback returns body processes back to normal after the process has been breached. An example is when the body temperature becomes too high or too low. At too high temperature, vasodilation of the skin's blood vessels occurs and more heat is lost to the surrounding from the skin, sweat is also produced by sweat glands and evaporation of the seat causes cooling. At too low temperature, vasoconstriction occurs leading to the conservation of more heat. The muscles also shake to generate more body heat
Positive feedback ensures that a breach of body processes reaches completion. An example is when a pregnant woman starts laboring. The increase in the amount of oxytocin in the blood leads to the contraction of the uterus consequently leading to the opening of the cervix. More and more oxytocin leads to more frequent and stronger contraction of the uterus untill the baby is born.
