The following statements accurately describe the cell membrane:
1. The cell membrane is very selective.
2. The cell membrane is a protective layer surrounding a cell.
3. The cell membrane allows waste to leave the cell.
The other two statements are incorrect:
- "The cell membrane lets anything enter the cell." is false because the cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it only allows certain substances to pass through.
- "The cell membrane lets anything leave the cell." is also misleading for the same reason; while it does allow many substances to exit, it is not indiscriminate.
