What means that a material has spaces that allows water to seep through it?

∙ 8y ago
There are two words with different meanings.
POROUS - there are spaces through which gas or liquid can enter the material.
(This actually applies to any surface having "pores" or openings.)
PERMEABLE - gases or liquids can pass through (sometimes only some particular ones)

What is the definition of conductors and insulators?
A conductor is a material that can transfer energy efficiently and and insulator is the opposite.Conductor means something that blocks it and insulator means something that can go through itA conductor easily transfers energy in the form of electricity and/or heat, while an insulator does not easily transfer these types of energy.In electricity, a conductor is a material that can let current pass through and an insulator does not let current pass through,or rather copper is a conductor and plastic is an insulator.A insulator is something that will not allowheat/electricity to pass through it and a conductor is something that allows heat/electricity to pass through it.
What property in the cell membrane that allows only some substances in?
Semi-permeable. Permeable means things can pass through, so semi-permeable means only some things can pass through.
What does fully permeable mean?
fully permeable means that it allows micromolecules and several more substances to pass through it completely .
What is the definition of inorganic material?
It means material which was not a part of a living organism.
What is material means?
Enough money
What means a material that has spaces that allowwater to seep through it?
"porous"
What term means passing of a fluid through spaces?
Perfusion - passing of a fluid through space
Why do the photons pass through the material?
Transparency means that the photons are not affected (except for speed) by that material.

When the amplitude of a wave gets smaller and smaller as it passes through a material?
That means that part of the wave is absorbed by the material.
What does conductor mean?
it means when it does let electricity go through when ever.it even lets heat go through
What is the difference between voidage and porosity?
"Porosity" can be used to refer to voidage of a granular material. Pporosity could also denote the relative volume of pores, cracks and spaces in the solid body, while voidage deals exclusively with the amount of spaces between particles in relation to the overall volume occupied by the granular material. Porosity is measure of void spaces in a material.voidage means the relative amount of space between materials that are tightly packed ..........
What is the difference between pervious and impervious rocks in geology?
An impervious rock is one that does not allow water to flow through it. It has no air spaces and has no way of storing water at all.
What is the function of the highly folded body walls of a large sponge?
Sponges are filter feeders. This means that they pull water through their bodies and eat whatever they can filter out of it. The more folds and spaces that a sponge has, the more spaces there are for it to filter. This is the reason that sponge bodies are full of holes and spaces.
What does medium means?
A material that something passes through. For example vibrations traveling through a metal rod. The metal rod is the medium.
What does it mean if a material is an electrical conductor?
it means current can pass through it e.g metal. and a non-conductive material is where current cant pass through it (so its resistance is infinitive) e.g plastic or rubber.
What does neural foramina appear patent?
When neural foramina appear patent, it means that they are open and not blocked or narrowed. This allows for proper passage of nerves and blood vessels through the spaces in the spine, preventing compression and preserving function. It is important for maintaining nerve health and preventing symptoms such as pain and weakness.
