Question

Which of the following is true in regards to the cell membrane?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is also referred to as the phospholipid bilayer or the plasma membrane, It helps cells maintain homeostasis, It is selectively permeable; that is allows some substances through but not others

Explanation:

a. I don't know how to explain other names for the cell membrane but they are it, as the cell membrane is a bilayer composed of phopholipids and it is also called a plasma membrane

b. The cell membrane has many structures on it that facilitate nutrient transport in and out of the cell (ex: protein pump). nutrients of higher concentrations would like to move through lower concentrations, and it achieves this by moving across the cell membrane in or out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis

c. Some substances such as NaOH use pumps on the cell to move in or out of it, it can't get in or out without using pumps since they are so big, so the cell can choose when the cell wants it's nutrients or if it dosen't
