The role of the cell membrane is most like the job of which person?
a firefighter who evacuates people from a burning building
a police officer who allows select people to enter and leave a crime scene
a bus driver who drives the express route from the suburb to downtown
a teacher who keeps students in the classroom during an exam

Police officer who allows selected people to enter and leave.

The cell membrane acts as the protective covering of the cell. This membrane is selectively permeable.

The membrane which is selectively permeable that allows only certain molecules to pass through it. The smaller molecules and the non polar molecules are passed through this membrane.

The molecules such as sugar and protein are not allowed to pass through the selectively permeable membrane.

In this way the cell membrane acts as policeman that allows the movement of selected people only.

in 1859, charles darwin set out his theory of evolution by natural selection as an explanation for adaptation and speciation. he defined natural selection as the "principle by which each slight variation [of a trait], if useful, is preserved".
