Question #2
Consider statements about cell biology: 1. The cell membrane is selectively permeable. 2. The cell wall is present in all plant cells. 3. The nucleus is the control center of the cell. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The cell membrane (plasma membrane) is selectively permeable, regulating the passage of substances in and out of the cell. The cell wall is a rigid, non-living outer layer present in all plant cells, providing structural support and shape. The nucleus is the control center of the eukaryotic cell, housing the genetic material (DNA) and directing cellular activities like growth, metabolism, and reproduction. All three statements are correct.
