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...
means they allow some things to cross, but not others.
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.
it blocks the passge of most substances
It only let's some materials pass in and out.
DefinitionnounA membrane that is selectively permeable, i.e. being permeable to only certain molecules and not to all molecules.SupplementAn example of such membrane is the cell membrane wherein it allows passage of only certain types of molecules by diffusion and occasionally by facilitated diffusion.by~paula razon (facebook)!!!
it allows some substances to pass through but blocks the passage of others.
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
It means that biological membranes allow only specific substances to pass through while blocking others. This selectivity is achieved through the presence of different types of transport proteins and lipid components in the membrane. This property is crucial for maintaining cell integrity and regulating the flow of materials in and out of the cell.
"Selectively permeable" refers to a membrane that allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This selective permeability is important for regulating the passage of molecules in and out of cells.
Selectively permeable refers to a cell membrane that will let certain things in and out of the cell, but block other things.
Because plasma membrane allows only certain solute to move into the cell and outside the cell
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.
