What does it mean that biological memberanes are selectively permeable?
it means that any biological membrane allows only certain solute or we can say nutrients that are required by cell, to enter into cell through itself and not other unnecessary particles hrmful to cell.. Such property is called selectively permeable or semi permeable...
What does it mean for a cell to be selectively permeable Why does a cell have to do this?
semi permeable means the cell chooses what comes into it, they have this so they can let food particles and water in but not large items or other cells
The cell membrane is selectively permeable. What does that mean?
Because plasma membrane allows only certain solute to move into the cell and outside the cell
What does the term permable mean?
Selectively permeable refers to a cell membrane that will let certain things in and out of the cell, but block other things.
Does it mean for a cell membrane to be selectively permeable?
it allows some substances to pass through but blocks the passage of others.
Does selectively permeable and semi permeable mean the same thing?
Yes, selectively permeable and semi-permeable mean the same thing. They refer to a membrane that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through while blocking others based on size, charge, or other properties.
What does it mean for a cell membrane to be selectively permeable?
A selectively permeable cell membrane allows certain molecules or ions to pass through while restricting the passage of others. This selective permeability helps regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining internal conditions necessary for cellular functions.
What does it mean if a cell is selectively permeable?
In Biology, a selective permeable cell means the cell only allows certain molecules to pass through. This concept was first introduced to understand the process of osmosis, where solute molecules move along a concentration gradient through a semi permeable membrane (also known as a selectively permeable membrane) Cells allow water molecules and small ions to pass through their membranes without the expenditure of energy.
What does it mean for phospholipid membrane to be selectively permeable?
It only let's some materials pass in and out.
What does the term selectively permable mean?
"Selectively permeable" refers to a membrane that allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This selectivity is based on the size, charge, or other properties of the molecules trying to cross the membrane. An example is a cell membrane, which permits the passage of specific molecules necessary for the cell's function while blocking others.
What is an example of active transport through a cell membrane?
Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. I'm assuming you mean active transport of plasma into a red blood cell.
What does the term selectively permeable mean?
If you break down the two words, selective means to only pick certain things, and permeable means to let pass through. When you talk about something being "selectively permeable", it usually refers to a cell membrane because it only lets in certain nutrients and lets out proteins and what not. I hope this answers your question.
