Cells have selectively what membranes?
Selectively permeable.
Does selectively permeable and semi permeable mean the same thing?
nope
Is a mirror selectively permeable?
A mirror is not selectively permeable. The mirror's surface is rigid since it cannot allow any substances to pass through it.
Why is the plasma membrane selectively permeable?
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable because it needs to allow certain things in and certain things out.The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane as it allows the entry and exit of some selected substances only.
Is it true if the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion?
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
Cells have selectively what?
Selectively permeable.
Cells have selectively what membranes?
Selectively permeable.
What is definition of selectively permeable?
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).
What is the relationship between cell membrane and selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are indeed selectively permeable.
How is dialysis membrane selectively permeable?
a dialysis membrane is selectively permeable, it is used in experiments to simulate cellular membranes, and it is permeable to water but not to sucrose.
Does the membrane of a cell is selectively permeable?
no
Does selectively permeable and semi permeable mean the same thing?
nope
What is the basic strcture of a cell membrane?
Cell membrane is elastic and transparent. It can be impermeable, permeable, semi-permeable or selectively permeable. In humans the plasma membrane is selectively permeable that is it allows entry to certain substance.
Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are selectively permeable while cell walls are semi-selectively permeable. Keep in mind that only low level organisms, like plants, have cell walls.
A membrane that allows some substances to pass through while excluding others would be called a?
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
What does a selectively permeable membrane do?
A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
Is a mirror selectively permeable?
A mirror is not selectively permeable. The mirror's surface is rigid since it cannot allow any substances to pass through it.
