Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. A cell membrane has small pores which help in the transfer of molecules inside and outside of the cell, hence it is called a semipermeable or selectively permeable membrane.
  2. When you think about a membrane, imagine it is like a big plastic bag with some tiny holes.
  3. That bag holds all of the cell pieces and fluids inside the cell and keeps any nasty things outside the cell.
  4. The holes are there to let some things move in and out of the cell.

The given statement is true.
