Detailed explanation-1: -The cell membrane is important in maintaining homeostasis because it keeps the cell separate from the environment and is selectively permeable. The cell membrane creates a barrier that allows the cell to keep its internal conditions separate from the external environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell membranes enable organisms to maintain homeostasis by regulating the materials that may enter or leave a cell. Some materials easily cross the cell membrane without the input of energy; other materials require energy input in order to cross through the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell membrane is important to homeostasis because it is selectively permeable. Selectively permeable means that it only lets certain things in and out of the cell. The structure of the cell membrane affords it this property.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis refers to the body’s ability to physiologically regulate its inner environment to ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in external or internal conditions.
