What is the boundary that surrounds a cell and controls which substances can enter or leave the cell
A
Solute
B
Molecule
C
Nutrients
D
Cell membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The plasma membrane is the border between the interior and exterior of a cell. As such, it controls passage of various molecules-including sugars, amino acids, ions, and water-into and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell membrane It maintains the integrity of a cell and controls passage of materials into and out of the cell. All materials within a cell must have access to the cell membrane (the cell’s boundary) for the needed exchange. The cell membrane is a double layer of phospholipid molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell membrane is the outer layer of the cell. The primary function of the cell membrane is to regulate what substances enter and leave the cell. The cell membrane is selectively permeable, or “semi-permeable", meaning that the membrane only allows certain substances to enter or leave the cell.
