TRUE!
This part of the cell controls what substances enter or leave the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This type of protein helps transport large materials across the cell membrane.
What is an integral protein?

Multicellular organisms are an example of this type of cell.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
The ability of the cell membrane to allow some things to pass through while preventing other things from passing through.
What is selective permeability?
The cell membrane is described as this, is flexible and made up of many components.
What is a fluid mosaic?
Transport of molecules into and out of a cell help it maintain this, a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move in this direction.
