Question 10 • PMHS Biology I Q2

Which is a function of the cell membrane?

Answer
A
performs photosynthesis
B
controls what enters and leaves the cell
C
produces proteins
D
provides energy to the cell

Explanation

The cell membrane acts as a selective barrier, regulating what substances enter and leave the cell. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, proteins are produced by ribosomes, and most usable energy is released by mitochondria. Therefore, the correct choice is “controls what enters and leaves the cell.”
