Answer:

A) to support a cell

Explanation:

A Cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosing its contents. The membrane also gives a cell its shape and enables the cell to attach to other cells, forming tissues. The cell membrane also serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in others. Thus, it helps to support the cell and maintain its shape. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.

2) A

3) C

4) C

5) A

6) D

7) A

8) B

9) B

10) A

11) B

12) C

Explanation:

1) This shows that the rock occupies space as what we are looking at here is volume. (The displacement of water) Let's look at each of the options. It doesn't show that matter has mass because there is no mass balance or any equipment to show the heaviness of the rock. The state of matter (options C and D) is not shown here as any matter, which occupies space, when poured or added to an already filled glass will cause the water to spill. Option C says that matter is a solid, which is false as there are many different states of matter, such as solid, liquid and gaseous state. While a rock is a solid, the statement that matters are solid is false.

3) The term space is not commonly used in the study of science, we usually call it volume. This is because 'space' is quite a vague word as it could mean atmospheric space. More precisely, volume is the amount (or measure) of space a matter occupies.

4) Weighing scale measures the amount of mass (or weight) in a body. Options A and D are units of measurement for length while B is used for volume. Recap: volume is the amount of space an object occupies

5) Here, we are differentiating matter from non -matter

Properties that differentiate a matter from a non- matter are mass and volume. Matters have mass and occupies space (have volume).

6) I. Light is not a matter

II. All matter

III. Heat is not a matter. It is the measure of coldness or hotness in a body.

IV. All matter

9) Option C talks about diffusion.

10) An ion is a charged particle. For example, if an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes negatively or positively charged and is now known as an ion.

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together.

12) Atoms are very tiny so centimeters and millimeters would be too big of a unit for measuring them. Gram is a unit of measurement of mass.

<u>☆ Extra:</u>

Mass is the amount of substance in a body while weight is the amount of gravitational force acting on a body.
