Question

Select three ways that the cell membrane helps maintain homeostasis within a cell.

A.
The cell membrane protects all of the organelles within the cell from injury.


B.
The cell membrane synthesizes proteins which helps maintain tissue structure.


C.
The cell membrane helps control the contents of a cell by combining simple molecules into complex molecules.


D.
The cell membrane controls the concentration of organic molecules in a cell's cytoplasm.


E.
The cell membrane allows water into and out of the cell.


F.
The cell membrane produces enzymes that allow a cell to quickly carry out needed chemical reactions.

Answer 1

The three ways that the cell membrane helps maintain homeostasis within a cell are:

D. The cell membrane controls the concentration of organic molecules in a cell's cytoplasm.

E. The cell membrane allows water into and out of the cell.

A. The cell membrane protects all of the organelles within the cell from injury.

(Note: While option A is more related to protection rather than homeostasis, the most directly relevant options for homeostasis are D and E.)
