Question
multiple - choice question
an amoeba relies heavily on what cell part to maintain homeostasis?
the cytoplasm
the cell membrane
the cell wall
The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, which is crucial for maintaining homeostasis. Amoebas, being single - celled organisms, rely on the cell membrane to regulate their internal environment. They don't have a cell wall (as they are not plant or fungal cells in this context), and while the cytoplasm is important for cellular processes, it is the cell membrane that primarily helps with maintaining the balance of the cell's internal conditions.
