∙ 14y agoa ziploc bag make look like it won't let anything in or out, but it actually has tiny holes that will let in/out tiny particles. so it kind of selects what it allows through based on the size of the particles.

∙ 14y agoIt means that the specified substance which it is permeable to can leak out of it.
Example: If it is permeable to iodine, the iodine would be able to leak out. If it is permeable to air, it too, would be able to leak in, or out of it.

∙ 13y agoYes, the cell membrane (also known as plasma membrane) is referred to as being selectively permeable.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes.
The cell's membrane is selectively permeable because it allows some chemicals and molecules to pass through (such as water), but also rejects other substances and some antibodies.

∙ 14y agoYes, plastic baggies are selectively permeable. The only thing that I know of that they are permeable to is iodine.

Which part in the cell is fully permeable and selectively permeable?
in plants cell surface membrane! and in animal plasma membrane!
What is a cell membrane that is selectivly permeable?
A cell membrane is found on both plant and animal cells it selectively chooses what substances may enter or leave the cell. Hence the term selectively permeable. For a more advanced explanation I recommend you research protein icebergs and the different types of transport a membrane can take part in. Example active transport
What is a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but excludes others?
A membrane that lets some substances pass through but not others is known as a semipermeable membrane. Other terms that describe this type of membrane are: selectively permeable, partially permeable, or differentially permeable.
Is cytoplasm partally permeable?
The cytoplasm is the fluid contained within a cell. The cell membrane is the barrier that encloses the cytoplasm. The cell membrane is partially permiable, not the cytoplasm.
Why is a cell membrane called semi-permeable or selectively permeable?
As the cell membrane only allows certain substances to enter or leave the cell, meaning that while it IS permeable (as some substances can cross it), it is only selectively as not all substances are able to cross it, only some.
What is the relationship between cell membrane and selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are indeed selectively permeable.
Does the membrane of a cell is selectively permeable?
no
What is the basic strcture of a cell membrane?
Cell membrane is elastic and transparent. It can be impermeable, permeable, semi-permeable or selectively permeable. In humans the plasma membrane is selectively permeable that is it allows entry to certain substance.
Which part in the cell is fully permeable and selectively permeable?
in plants cell surface membrane! and in animal plasma membrane!
What is a sentence using the word cell membrane?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable.
What is a sentence that uses the words cell membrane?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable.
What is the sentence that uses the word cell membrane?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable.
What part of the cell is descibe as selectively permeable?
the cell membrane
Controls entery into and out of cell?
Its selectively permeable membrane.
What is the permeability of the cell membranes?
A membrane is selectively permeable.
Where is selectively permeable membrane found in plants?
it is found near the cell wall, so that when substances enters the cell wall they pass through the selectively permeable membrane.
What is the jail guard of the cell?
THE cell membrane is selectively permeable whereas the cell wall is fully permeable ..
