Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following organelles controls what enters and exits a cell and is considered selectively / semipermeable?
A
Cell Wall
B
Cell Membrane
C
Cytoskeleton
D
Cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Plasma membrane-controls what enters and leaves the cell (also present in eukaryotic cells)

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. It consists of the phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -One of the most important functions of the plasma membrane is the transport of the molecules across it. The membrane is selectively permeable to some molecules present on either side of it. Thus option A is the correct answer.
