Permeable mean that it is full time. Semi-permeable is when it is only part of the time.
What else can I help you with?
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 do you mean by semi permeable membrane?
It can permeate some stuff but not everything
What is the difference between a permeable and a semi permeable membrane?
There is no real difference other than the wording; both semi-permeable and partially-permeable mean the ability to allow some substances to pass.However, OCR examiners for AS Biology have said that you should "not use the term semi-permeable when referring to cell membranes that allow water and other solutes to cross them" but should "refer to them as partially permeable."
An example of semi-permeable?

What is the difference between semi-permeable and impermeable?
semi permeable lets some substances through and impermeable lets no substances through
Is the small intestine semi permeable?
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.
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
What does seminpermeable membrane do?
semi permeable membrane is semi-permeable or not completely permeable...it allows particles of a certain shap or size flow through but other shapes that are large or snaller cant fit through.
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
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.
Is a piece of aluminium foil a permeable membrane?
depend upon your choice , hydrogen permeable but water not
Are cell membranes permeable or semi-permeable?
Cell membranes are semi-permeable, meaning they allow certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This selectivity is facilitated by proteins embedded in the membrane that regulate the passage of specific molecules based on size, charge, and other properties.
