What is a semi permeable membrane and how does it relate to cellular transport?

∙ 12y ago
A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane which allows cells to pass through it. The cells which make up the membrane of the inside of the cheek of the human mouth, for example, are semi-permeable. This allows things, like nicotine for example, to be absorbed through the membrane walls while the walls maintain structural integrity.

How can a door greeter relate to a cell membrane?
a cell membrane is semi-permeable. meaning that it selectively chooses between what can go in and out of the cell. A door greeter is similar to this because a door greeter can tell who to allow in/out of the building they are in.
How does difference in concentration relate to movement of substances across the membrane?
the concentration gradient will help to bring stuff into the cell and to move stuff out. Osmosis likes to move with the concentration gradient. Moving with a concentration gradient is passive transport and moving against it is active transport
Does the rough endoplasmic reticulum relate to cellular respiration?
No, rough endoplasmic reteculum is not related to cellular respiraton
How does the permeability of the plasma membrane relate to homeostasis?
who the knows
How is the cell membrane facilitated diffusion transported?
In Facilitated diffusion materials are transported across the plasma membrane without using up any energy. Plasma membranes is made up of phospholipid bilayers consisting of proteins which help in the transportation of larger materials.
How does the cell membrane relate to the cytoplasm?
The cell membrane is very much like the rubber part of an inflated balloon.
How does the surface are to volume ratio relate to the cell membrane?
they're cousins
How does decomposition relate to cellular respiration?
The same chemical reaction is occurring in both cellular respiration and decomposition. An organic compound such as glucose is used as fuel to run cellular respiration.
How does the chemical equation for cellular respiration relate to that of photosynthesis?
Because the end products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the requirement to start cellular respiration.
How does the equation for photosynthesis relate to the equation for cellular respiration?
Because the end products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the requirement to start cellular respiration.
How does the cellular reperation formula relate to the photosynthisis formula?
The products of the cellular respiration formula are the reactants of the photosynthesis formula, and the reactants of the cellular respiration formula are the products of the photosynthesis formula. Basically, they are opposite processes.
How does conduction and convection relate?
conduction, heat transport by direct contactconvection, heat transport by mass movement driven by density changes with temperatureradiation, heat transport by electromagnetic radiation
