What else can I help you with?
What is that thin membrane surrounding a muscle fiber called?
its called the plasma membrane or cell membrane. sometimes the semi-permeable plasma membrane. The Sarcolemma is the plasma membrane specifically surrounding a muscle fiber.
Is the membrane of a vacuole in an animal cell partially permeable?
Yes, the membrane of a vacuole in an animal cell is partially permeable. It allows some molecules and ions to pass through while restricting the movement of others. This selective permeability helps maintain the internal environment of the cell.
Where does the semi permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell?
The semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. It regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell, allowing some molecules to pass through while restricting others. This selective permeability helps maintain the internal environment of the cell.
What is a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but excludes others?
A membrane that lets some substances pass through but not others is known as a semipermeable membrane. Other terms that describe this type of membrane are: selectively permeable, partially permeable, or differentially permeable.
What is the membrane that separates the content of the cell from the surrounding environment?
The membrane that separates the content of the cell from the surrounding environment is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. It is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
Cell membranes that allow certain molecules to pass through while keeping others out are called?
semi permiable I believe, but I'm not 100 percent sure on the spelling selectively permeable
A membrane that allows some substances to pass through while excluding others would be called a?
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
What is a membrane called when only certain things can cross a membrane?
A membrane that only allows certain substances to cross is called a selectively permeable or semi-permeable membrane. It allows some molecules or ions to pass through while blocking others based on characteristics like size, charge, or solubility.
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.
What is the process in which water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane is called?
The process in which water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis occurs when water molecules move from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration to balance out solute concentrations on either side of the membrane.
Why is a cell membrane called permeable?
because oil based fluids can get through it.
What is it called that all cells have that allow them to let materials in and out?
selectively permeable membrane.
