Answer:

The correct option is : a. Identification of the cell

Explanation:

The cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of the cell, that protects and separates the interior of the cells from the external environment.

The carbohydrate layer of the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. In eukaryotes, <u>the carbohydrates present on the surface of the cell membrane play a important role in the cell-cell recognition and share information.</u>

Hey there!

Here is a paraphrased version of the text:

Objects that are nonliving never had the qualities of life, and never will. Things that are dead did have an experience to have the qualities of life, but then they eventually die, they fail to keep some of the characteristics. So in science, dead is not an identical word to nonliving. A rock is nonliving, a fallen tree is dead, and a moose is living.

Note: While paraphrasing a text, a good thing to do is to think of as many synonyms of the words in the text as you can.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
