How does the cell membrane help maintain homeostasis?
It allows material to stay in and prevent outside material from entering
As you are aware, homeostasis is the capacity to maintain living conditions. Additionally, cells are subject to the conditions in which they find themselves. To prevent fluctuations in osmotic pressure, they have a membrane; to prevent necessary particles from exiting their "bodies"; to permit only a minimal amount of particles to enter unless absorbed by a vesicle; to facilitate the diffusion of materials during chemical reactions, such as the production of ATP or the pumping of protons; and to use the membrane in these processes, they require both the materials and the membrane.
TL:DR: It's a semipermeable fluid barrier, a biochemical scaffold that can withstand some pressure, and it permits material import and export—all essential functions for a cell to sustain life.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
