Question

how does the cell membrane help the cell? select all that apply a forms a barrier between the inside and outside of the cell b stores genetic information or dna c allows small hydrophobic molecules to cross through d controls everything that enters and leaves the cell

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a phospholipid - bilayer structure. It forms a physical barrier (a). It is semi - permeable, allowing small hydrophobic molecules to cross (c) and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell (d). DNA is stored in the nucleus, not in the cell membrane (b is incorrect).

Answer:

A. forms a barrier between the inside and outside of the cell
C. allows small hydrophobic molecules to cross through
D. controls everything that enters and leaves the cell
