The cell membrane (plasma membrane) is describe as a highly selective barrier composed of a lipid bi-layer. This structure plays

an important role in moving molecules across the cell membrane in order for the cell to maintain homeostasis. If the cell is unable to take in the materials it needs or remove what it does not need, the cell may die. This inability of cells to maintain homeostasis may cause sickness or even death of an organism. Why is it important that the cell membrane is highly selective?​

Which of the following is a correct statement about an organism and its environment?
stepan [7]

Interstitial fluid is an extracellular fluid that fills the spaces between most of the cells of the body (“bathes the cells“).

The total body water is divided between the intracellular compartment (intracellular fluid) and the extracellular compartment (extracellular fluid). Extracellular fluid is then subdivided into interstitial fluid and smaller components, such as the blood plasma, the cerebrospinal fluid and lymph.

Interstitial fluid consists of a water solvent which contains sugars, salts, fatty acids, amino acids, coenzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, white blood cells and cell waste products. The composition of interstitial fluid is not always the same, it depends upon the exchanges between the cells in the biological tissue and the blood (different composition of the fluid in different tissues). The interstitial fluid acts as a connecting link between the blood and the cells.
