since it is semi-permeable, it allows in things cells need, and let out things they dont... but generally allow cells to stay as they please.

Cells need to maintain an optimum environment for their enzymes to work. Multicellular organisms function best, and at optimum metabolic efficiency, if the internal environment provided for their cells is maintained at a constant level. Multicellular oragnisms regulate their internal environment in order to remain healthy. They monitor all the activities of their cells, their requirements and the wastes they produce, using feedback systems. The organism, as a whole, coordinates the surroundings of its cells to ensure that the compostion of the internal body fluid remains within the required limits. The internal environment for cells can never be controlled completly, but the coordinating systems work to maintain a balance within certain limits.
