Ryann Patrick · Answer 1

Option D.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer which is semipermeable.

Nibbles · Answer 2

The cell membrane is selectively permeable.

Explanation:

A selectively permeable cell membrane is a cell membrane that concedes certain molecules, and/or ions to pass inside it by means of active or inactive transport. Cell membrane assumes a vital part in saving up the homeostasis by regulating the substances that infiltrate the phone, either opening the phone or leaving the phone.
