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.

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.

While A is less direct in terms of homeostasis compared to D and E, it can be considered relevant to protecting the cell's internal environment. The other options (B and C) do not primarily pertain to the membrane's role in maintaining homeostasis.
