Question

which characteristic of life does a selectively permeable membrane help maintain? a growth b evolution c response to stimuli d homeostasis

Explanation:

A selectively - permeable membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of a cell. This helps maintain a stable internal environment, which is homeostasis. Growth involves an increase in size or number of cells, evolution is about long - term genetic changes in a population, and response to stimuli is how an organism reacts to external or internal changes. None of these are directly related to what a selectively - permeable membrane maintains.

Answer:

D. homeostasis
