5.01 Why is the cell membrane essential for cell homeostasis?
hodyreva [135]

A cell membrane does not actually maintain homeostasis by itself. The term homeostasis refers to maintaining a relatively stable internal environment inside of a multi-cell organism. Since the internal environment is the interstitial fluid that is around each and every cell, then homeostasis has more to do with what is outside of a cell than what is inside of it. :)

One part of a freely swinging magnet always points
saul85 [17]

The best answer is D

 A freely suspended magnet will always point in the North - South direction in the absence of any other magnet. This suggests that the earth itself behaves as a magnet which causes a freely suspended magnet (or magnetic needle ) to point always in a particular direction namely North and South.

The south pole of the earth's magnet is in the geographic north because it attracts the north pole of the suspended magnet and vice versa. However it is important to note that the position of earth's magnetic poles are not well defined because they are spread over an area.
