The answer is first one. Cell membrane assumes a vital part in keeping up the homeostasis by controlling the substances that infiltrate the phone, either entering the phone or leaving the phone. Since the cell layer is a phospholipid bilayer, it can control the move of water and particles.

Cell membranes allow the organisms to maintain the homeostasis by stimulating the materials which might move into or exit out of the cell. Cell membrane carriers a special feature called semi-permeability, wherein, it decides only some molecules move in or out of the cell.

Further Explanation:

The plasma membrane or cell membrane is basically a barrier found between the cytoplasm inside the cell and external environment of the cell. This barrier is responsible for protecting as well as supporting the cell. It also helps in controlling the kind of molecules that move into and out of the cell. This ability to control the entry of certain molecules is called selective permeability or semi-permeability.

In order to function normally, a stable state needs to be maintained within the cell. For instance, the levels of nutrients, salts, and other materials that are required to be kept within a specific range. This process of maintaining the stable environment within the cell is referred as homeostasis. This process needs constant adjustments as the environment of the cell is always changing. By moving the molecules into as well as out of the cells, they keep the environment within the normal conditions and also aids in maintaining the homeostatic regulation within the cells. If this mechanism fails, disease or death of the cell/organism may follow.

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.
