Answer:

Selectively permeable or semipermeable means specific substances are allowed to pass through the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is selectively or semipermeable in nature because the plasma membrane allow only specific molecules such as nonpolar substances or hydrophobic substances such as steroidshormone to pass through it and prevent the passage of polar solute molecules such as water,glucose.

   To transport these polar solutes across the membrane an additional protein is needed in case of transport of water channel protein is needed whereas in case of glucose transport carrier protein is required.

Like all forms of life on Earth, all microbial cells perform three major types of activities: __________.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

4. metabolism, growth, and evolution

Explanation:

Living organisms show different characteristics like respiration, movement, metabolism, growth, evolution, respiration, excretion, nutrition. Most of the microbes are microscopic and unicellular which means they are made up of only one cell but they are also living.

They perform three major types of activities like metabolism, growth, and evolution. This can be seen by culturing bacteria on suitable media. So in the medium, it can be observed that they consume the food present in media and extract energy from it through metabolic activities and are showing growth. All micro-organisms evolve due to mutation. So the correct answer is 4.
