Question

The cell membrane is made of phospholipids and is selectively permeable, or semipermeable, allowing some things to pass through but not others. Which major theme in biology does this statement represent?

Question 2 options:

DNA transcribes into RNA, and RNA translates to proteins.


All living things require an energy source.


All organisms share seven basic characteristics.


Structure relates to function.

Answer 1

The statement about the cell membrane being made of phospholipids and its selectively permeable nature best represents the theme "Structure relates to function." This theme emphasizes how the structure of biological components, such as the cell membrane, is specifically designed to perform its function, in this case, regulating what enters and exits the cell.
