Ethanol is a type of alcohol and alcohol breaks apart the weak hydrogen bonds in the lipid bilayers of cell membranes, which in turn, means it's denaturing. Once a membrane denatures, it no longer has a function so it becomes more permeable and it's less selective.

What is the jail guard of the cell?
THE cell membrane is selectively permeable whereas the cell wall is fully permeable ..
What do cell membrane do that cell walls can't do?
Cell membrane is selectively permeable membrane, therefore it allows selective molecules to be taken in by the cell and excludes others. Whereas cell wall is permeable in nature and does not inhibit the intake of many molecules what the cell membrane does.
Is the cell-membrane permeable?
The cell membrane is semi-permeable.
Which part in the cell is fully permeable and selectively permeable?
in plants cell surface membrane! and in animal plasma membrane!
Example of Semi permeable membrane?
Animal cell membranes are a semi-permeable membrane.
Is plant cell will semi permeable or fully permeable?
It is semi permeable [ the cell membrane]
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 type of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane or are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
What types of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
Is cell wall is a permeable membrane?
it is not selective permeable. - Cell membranes are selective permeable. Cell walls are fully permeable - which means that it allows all substances/molecules to pass in and out of the cell. It is located outside of the membrane.
Is a cell membrane permeable impermeable or partially permeable?
Plasma membranes are selectively permeable.
Does the membrane of a cell is selectively permeable?
no
What is a sentence using the word cell membrane?

What is a sentence that uses the words cell membrane?
