The cell membrane or a plasma membrane is a semipermeable membrane which means that this is a layer that allows only certain molecules that can pass through it. This allows the cells to keep their materials and the contents parted from the environment and from the other cells. This also makes the phospholipid bilayer an outstanding semipermeable membrane and protects the intracellular organelles from the environment that is outside from the cell.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Since the Earth has a tilted angle of 23.5 degrees as it moves around the sun, the amount of sunlight that is received by the hemispheres vary from time to time. This is mainly responsible for the changes in the temperature and daylight hours, which are the indicators of the changes in seasons.

In this case, when one hemisphere of the Earth is tilted toward the sun, it receives more sunlight than the other end. Therefore, this region experiences summer, wherein the daylight is longer and the temperature is warmer
