SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 38

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Absorbs food.

• The flexibility of the cell membrane helps living organisms to absorb food.
• The flexibility of the cell membrane allows cells to engulf nutrients from their surroundings through endocytosis.
• It enables the transport of essential molecules like glucose, amino acids, and ions into the cell, supporting proper cellular function.
• The dynamic nature of the membrane provides selective permeability, allowing beneficial substances in while excluding harmful ones.
• This property helps cells maintain homeostasis, crucial for survival and function.
• Flexibility also aids in cellular communication by facilitating interactions of membrane receptors with external signals.
