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.
