What does selective permeability mean what is responsible for the selective permeability of the plasma or cell membrane?
Marfi
When a cell's membrane is permeable, it means that only certain proteins and other molecules can go in and out of the porous membrane, through protein pumps and other pathways. Some molecules stay inside the cell, while others float outside. Starches, for example, are large molecules that cannot pass through the membrane.

Is an ability of a plasma membrane to allow some substance to cross across the membrane more easily than others?
selective permabiltiy
What is the structure and the function of the plasma membrane?
It has selective permeability (allows it to control what comes in and out of the cell) and it isolates the cytoplasm.
How does selective permeability maintain homeostasis?
The selective permeability of a cells membrane helps the cell to maintain homeostasis because it controls what goes in and out of the cell. This is extremely important for the health of the cell.
What is the bacterial structure that acts as a selective barrier allowing nutrients to enter the cell and wastes to leave the cell.?
plasma membrane
Is the cell membrane permeable to glycerol?
No. Permeability of glycerol through plasma membrane= (approx) 1.9 x 10^-9 m/sec Permeability of water through plasma membrane = 2.0 x 10^-6 m/sec
Selective permeability refers to the fact that the plasma membrane keeps all molecules out of the cell?
Selective permeability refers to the fact that the plasma membrane can choose which molecules to let in or out of the cell.
What is the feature of plasma membrane that keep some substances out?
Selective Permeability
What feature of the plasma membrane that keeps some substances out?
Selective Permeability
Is homeostasis the quality of a plasma membrane that allows oxygen and glucose to move in?
Selective Permeability
Is an ability of a plasma membrane to allow some substance to cross across the membrane more easily than others?
selective permabiltiy
The ability of the plasma membrane to select which molecules will enter or exit the celll is referred to as?
Selective permeability
What is the structure and the function of the plasma membrane?
It has selective permeability (allows it to control what comes in and out of the cell) and it isolates the cytoplasm.
How does selective permeability maintain homeostasis?
The selective permeability of a cells membrane helps the cell to maintain homeostasis because it controls what goes in and out of the cell. This is extremely important for the health of the cell.
What is the property of the cell membrane that allows only some materials to pass through it?
selectively permeable or selective permeability
Feature the plasma membrane that maintains the cell's homeostasis by allowing some molecules into the cell while keeping others out?
Selective permeability otherwise known as semipermeable membrane.
What is the structure and function of the plasma membrane?
It has selective permeability (allows it to control what comes in and out of the cell) and it isolates the cytoplasm.
How does the permeability of the plasma membrane relate to homeostasis?
