∙ 7y agoThe Plasma Membrane of a Cell is used to separate the outside of the cell to the inside. The membrane is selectively permeable so that important nutrients and other substances can enter the cell but things like toxins can not

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.
What is the function of the cell selectively permeable plasma membrane?
it regulates what materials enter and leave the cell
To what is the plasma membrane said to be?
Semipermeable or selectively permeable.
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.
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 forms an envelope around the cell described as and selectively permeable?
The plasma membrane (cell membrane).
Is a cell membrane permeable impermeable or partially permeable?
Plasma membranes are selectively permeable.
Is plasma membrane premeable?
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable; it allows some substances to pass through but prevents the passage of other substances
What is the biological function of the fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane?
1. Protein Anchor 2. Selectively Permeable Barrier 3. Energy Production
Selectively permeable part of the cell that controls what enters and exits the cell?
Plasma (Cell) Membrane
What kind of proteins span the plasma membrane creating a selectively permeable?
Transport protiens
What is the main fuction of the plasma membrane?
The main function of plasma membrane is to regulate things in or out of the cell cytoplasm by osmosis,active diffusion,passive diffusion,endocytosis,ectocytosis etc because it acts as selectively permeable membrane.Plasma membrane forms a barrier between the interstitial fluid and inside cell environment. It is selectively permeable. Plasma membrane has trans membrane proteins embedded in it.
