The cell membrane
A
regulates what enters/leaves cell
B
helps maintain homeostasis
C
keeps contents of cell in place
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. 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: -With few exceptions, cellular membranes-including plasma membranes and internal membranes-are made of glycerophospholipids, molecules composed of glycerol, a phosphate group, and two fatty acid chains. Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that functions as the backbone of these membrane lipids.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is proteins, carbohydrates, phospholipids.

Detailed explanation-4: -The principal components of the plasma membrane are lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins, and carbohydrate groups that are attached to some of the lipids and proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylethanolamine. Phosphatidylserine. Sphingomyelin. 15-Nov-2021
