Answer:

B. The membrane lets certain substances move across it freely, while others must move through a “gate”.

Explanation:

Selective permeability is a property of cellular membranes that only allows certain molecules to enter or exit the cell. This is important for the cell to maintain its internal order irrespective of the changes to the environment. For example, water, ions, glucose and carbon dioxide may need to be imported or exported from the cell depending on its metabolic activity. Similarly, signaling molecules may need to enter the cell and proteins may need to be released into the extracellular matrix. The presence of a selectively permeable membrane allows the cell to exercise control over the quantum, timing and rate of movement of these molecules.

How does Overpopulation affects our lives today ??
Mnenie [13.5K]

No Clean Water: We may live on a water planet, but 97.5% of that water is ocean and other undrinkable salt-filled sources. Only 2.5% of the water on this planet is fresh, and of that, 1% is either too polluted to be consumed or entirely unreachable. Much of it remains frozen in the form of polar ice caps. All told, less than 1% of the planet’s freshwater resources are available for consumption.

Lower Life Expectancy: Thanks to medical intervention, human beings can live to be up to 100 years old — as long as they live in developed countries where they have access to that medical care. One study, done by researchers at Harvard, found that the majority of population increases over the next 40 years or so will be in less developed countries.

Climate Change: We’ve been seeing the results of climate change firsthand in the dramatic weather patterns of 2017 — multiple category five hurricanes, dramatic wildfires and floods, and other atypical weather patterns that are threatening both lives and property.
