Which of the following statements regarding membrane function is false?

a)the plasma membrane has receptors for chemical messages.
b)the plasma membrane forms a selective barrier around the cell.
c)the plasma membrane is the control center of the cell.
d)the plasma membrane plays a role in transferring signals to the cell's interior.

The statement is false regarding membrane function is that the plasma membrane is the control center of the cell.

Therefore, the correct answer to the above question is option c.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane is also known as semi permeable membrane. It is present in all the cell and single celled organisms like bacteria. The plasma membrane has the most important functions like functional like a receptor for chemical messages.

It also forms a selective barrier which does not allow the herbal foreign material to enter inside the cell. also it plays an important role in transferring signal to the cell interior. But it does not behave as a control center of the cell.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
