A cell membrane is selectively permeable because it only allows particles to move across them due to different concentrations. Molecules move from areas of low concentration to high concentration.

Is cell wall is a permeable membrane?

No, the cell wall is not a permeable membrane. It acts as a rigid structure that provides support and protection to the cell, allowing certain substances to pass through pores, but it is not freely permeable like a membrane.

How is the membrane permeability?

means that the cell membrane has some control over what can cross it, so that only certain molecules either enter or leave the cell


What do cell membrane do that cell walls can't do?

Cell membrane is selectively permeable membrane, therefore it allows selective molecules to be taken in by the cell and excludes others. Whereas cell wall is permeable in nature and does not inhibit the intake of many molecules what the cell membrane does.


What is selectively permeable membrane?

Selectively permeable means that only certain substances are able pass through the cell membrane.A selectively permeable membrane is a membrane that only can be permeated by selective things, in other words a surface that lets some molecules in but not others. Like a cell membrane will let water diffuse into it :)


When would you want to use selective media?

Selective Media - Our cell membrane has a selective permeable property. This type of membranes are important when we want to allow certain sized particles to enter while restricting other sized particles to enter our cell. Selective permeable membrane is of great use in biological samples.
