The cell membrane performs several important functions in addition to separating the cytoplasm from the outside environment. It

controls which molecules enter and leave the cell. The cell membrane is “selectively permeable,” which means it allows certain substances through and not others. One way that substances enter and leave the cell is through diffusion, the movement of particles from higher concentration to lower concentration. For example, if the concentration of salt molecules is higher inside the cell than outside, salt particles will move out of the cell. Diffusion is a type of passive transport, a movement of particles that does not require energy to occur. Facilitated diffusion is a kind of passive transport where proteins in the cell membrane help particles move from high to low concentration.

A scientist was studying bones from an individual who died thousands of years ago. Which portion of the bones was the scientist
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: Minerals

Explanation: The body decomposes and after about 40 to 50 years bones are mostly brittle and dry with no traces of flesh. After thousands of years bones also disintegrate (decay) leaving brittle mineral frame. The life of bones is determined by the soil type its buried in, nuetral soils takes longer then acidic soil condition.

In this case osteocytes(bone cells) are the first to decompose followed by the cartilage and bone marrow, leaving behind mineral traces that scientist can study after thousand years.
