yes because then it won't let in substances that would be harmful

Why is it important that cell membranes are selectively permeable?
so that no diseases or infections can get into them if they do not want them to
Why is the structure of a phospholipid so important to the cell?
They are selectively permeable, provides structure to cells.
What is the jail guard of the cell?
THE cell membrane is selectively permeable whereas the cell wall is fully 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.
Why is the cell membrane said to be selectively permeable?
Because the Cell Must Be Selectively Reactive.If the Cell was not selectively permeable it it would allowed Virus's in, and they could potentially lose essential nutrients because everything would flow in and out of the cell and destroy it
What is the relationship between cell membrane and selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are indeed selectively permeable.
Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are selectively permeable while cell walls are semi-selectively permeable. Keep in mind that only low level organisms, like plants, have cell walls.
Why is it important that cell membranes are selectively permeable?
so that no diseases or infections can get into them if they do not want them to
Does the membrane of a cell is selectively permeable?
no
Why is the structure of a phospholipid so important to the cell?
They are selectively permeable, provides structure to cells.
Is a cell membrane permeable impermeable or partially permeable?
Plasma membranes are selectively permeable.
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.
What is the jail guard of the cell?
THE cell membrane is selectively permeable whereas the cell wall is fully permeable ..
Is the cell memebrane selectively permeable?
Yes.
Description of cell membranes?
Selectively permeable
How is a cell affected if it looses the ability to be selectively permeable?
It will burst. It is selectively permeable to ensure that only the material that is required in the cell is able to enter it, if it looses the ability to to be selectively permeable then difusion will occur and the cell with try to be equal to the outside pressure, which will likely cause the cell to burst.
What is selectively (semi) permeable?
A selectively permeable cell is a cell whose cell membrane only lets in certain things like food but on the other hand tries to not letting things like viruses or bacteria all cells are semi or selectively permeable
