(b) Membrane are useful for compartmentalisation in cells.
(c) Solid particle are ingested by pinocytosis.
(d) All molecules can pass easily through a biomembrane if they are water soluble.

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether each statement is true (T) or false (F), let's analyze them one by one: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (a): The plasma membrane has a rigid structure.** - **Analysis:** The plasma membrane is flexible and not rigid. It allows for fluid movement and is composed of a lipid bilayer. In contrast, the cell wall is the rigid structure found in plant cells. - **Conclusion:** **False (F)** ...
