yes. semi-permeable refers to anything that can be permeated by one type of thing but not another. Most of the nutrients in our food pass through the small intestine, but most of the water (not to mention poop) does not, therefore it is semi-permeable.

How do you know the wall of the small intestine must be partially permeable?
ask a scientest
Is plant cell will semi permeable or fully permeable?
It is semi permeable [ the cell membrane]
How is semi permeable different from permeable?
I think that the difference is that a semi-permeable allows only certain things to pass through which are those that are small enough while permeable again i say i think allows almost all things to pass through
What does it mean to be semi permeable?
Permeable mean that it is full time. Semi-permeable is when it is only part of the time.
What type of barrier is produce by the phospholipids in the cell membrane?
A semi-permeable membrane, permeable to gases and small, non-charged particles.
What type of barrier is produced by the phospholipids in the cell membrane?
A semi-permeable membrane, permeable to gases and small, non-charged particles.
What does dialysis tubing represent in your model?
Dialysis Tubing is a type of semi or partially permeable membrane tubing made from regenerated cellulose or cellophane. It is used for diffusion, or more accurately osmosis. It allows the passage of small molecules but not larger ones. It is used in clinical circumstances to ensure a filtered flow of molecules, preventing the flow of larger solute molecules. Small molecules can be 'washed' out of a solution which is pumped through the tubing into a solvent, usually water, which surrounds it and in which they can be flushed away.
Type of tubing that is semi-permeable?
The type of tubing that is semi-permeable is that tubing used for dialysis. It needs to be semi-permeable to switch or remove molecules for different types of diffusion.
Is the cell-membrane permeable?
The cell membrane is semi-permeable.
Example of Semi permeable membrane?
Animal cell membranes are a semi-permeable membrane.
Is a cell wall semi permeable?
No, they are fully permeable, i.e. liquids and other things can pass through them fully. The cell membrane is what's semi permeable.
Are cell membranes permeable or semi-permeable?
Semi-permeable. They let some things in, and others out. Typically, nutrients and water are let in, and waste products from cellular metabolism are let out!
