The cell membrane is ____
A
a flexible cover
B
a large window
C
a big wall
D
a rough cover
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plasma membrane is flexible and is made up of organic molecules called lipids and proteins. The flexibility of cell membrane enables the cell to engulf in food and other material from its external environment. Such process is known as endocytosis. It is observed in Amoeba.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell membrane is a flexible covering that protects the inside of a cell from the environment outside a cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell Membranes made of phospholipid bilayer providing a flexible structure that forms a barrier between the cell and its surroundings.

Detailed explanation-4: -The long hydrocarbon chains of the fatty acids therefore move freely in the interior of the membrane, so the membrane itself is soft and flexible. In addition, both phospholipids and proteins are free to diffuse laterally within the membrane-a property that is critical for many membrane functions.

Detailed explanation-5: -A flexible membrane is a type of semipermeable material or a material that acts as a barrier to prevent the transmission of certain substances, yet allows for the passage of others.
