Answer 1

The statements that describe the cell membrane are:

1. It only allows certain materials to leave the cell.
2. It only allows certain materials to enter the cell.
3. It helps the cell get rid of waste.

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it controls what substances can enter and exit the cell, allowing only specific materials to pass through while preventing others. It also plays a role in removing waste from the cell. The other statements are incorrect.
