The function of the plasma membrane is....

• to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
• fight bacteria and viruses that enter the cell.
• provide rigid support and protection to the cell.
• make sure each cell can move

In which direction will these molecules diffuse?

• from right to left
• from left to right
• they will not move at all
• they will move in both directions equally

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, which means...

• All materials can enter and leave the cell
• Certain things can enter while others cannot
• The cell manually sorts through all materials
• Only certain cells can interact with the cell.

Osmosis is the movement of _____ across a membrane.

• food
• energy
• oxygen
• water

What is the name of the macromolecule that makes up the majority of the cell membrane?

• Lipid

• Carbohydrate

• Nucleic acid

• Protein
