Keystone Biology Review Cell Organelles

The cell membrane serves many functions.  One of the cell membrane's functions is to help the cell maintain homeostasis.  Which of the following statement best supports this claim?

• the cell membrane contains a polar region and a nonpolar region
• the cell membrane contains proteins
• the cell membrane contains phospholipids
• the cell membrane regulates what goes in and out of the cell
