The cell membrane is the thing that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane contains proteins that allow active transport of molecules in and out of the cell.
Such a membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semi-permeable.
It's not said TO BE an fluid its said to be Like a fluid because it is flexable and can stretch and move around
The passage of certain substances through the membrane
Animal cells lack rigid cell wall. When an animal cell is placed in a solution with high water potential, the wanter enters the cell as cell membrane is freely permeable to water. As a result of continuously increasing water potential inside the cell, Cell membrane bursts and the cell is said to be lysed.

It is very selective about what it allows to pass through.

The cytoplasm of a cell is surrounded by a cell membrane or plasma membrane. The membrane is said to be 'semi-permeable', in that it can either let a substance pass through freely, pass through to a limited extent or not pass through at all.the membrane is somewhat effective at letting fluids through
The passage of certain substances through the membrane
The cell's membrane is "selectively permeable" because the cell allows some materials to enter or leave.I'm in grade eight. This is what my Science textbook says:"Because the cell membrane allows certain substances to enter or leave, but not others, it is said to be selectively permeable."
Transport proteins help move (or "transport") large molecules that aren't able to pass through a cell's membrane, through said cell membrane through means of diffusion.
