Best Answer

The cell membrane is the thing that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane contains proteins that allow active transport of molecules in and out of the cell.

How does permeable work?

it's like a paper with very small holes So water molecules can pass though it but other molecules like sugar can't because they are too big. That is also how osmosis works. Because the cellwall is semipermeable!

What does selectively permeable mean?

Selective permeability relates to the properties of a membrane. It allows the passage of some substances and not others. Theoretically, it can be thought of as a sheet with holes of a set size in it. Only objects that are smaller than these holes will be able to pass through the sheet. In a proper membrane the 'holes' are usually a type of protein channel that can control permeability by charge as well as size.


Is making a cup of tea an example of diffusion or osmosis?

Diffusion is the correct answer as a tea bag is a fully permeable surface. (Unlike Cellophane and other semi permeable membranes). Osmosis is the process where water passes through a semipermeable membrane.


Do water molecules have holes?

It could be said that water molecules do have "holes", although a better term would be empty space. This is why compounds like sugar and salt can dissolve in water, as well as some other chemical properties that make this possible.


If a membrane was not permeable to sugars why would it probably also not be permeable to starch molecules?

If a membrane is permeable to a substance, it means that there are gaps/holes/pores in the membrane large enough for that substance to pass through. Starch molecules are bigger that sugar molecules. So if the membrane is not permeable to sugars, the gaps/holes/pores will not be big enough for starch molecules to pass through either.

What does selective permeability mean what is responsible for the selective permeability of the plasma or cell membrane?

When a cell's membrane is permeable, it means that only certain proteins and other molecules can go in and out of the porous membrane, through protein pumps and other pathways. Some molecules stay inside the cell, while others float outside. Starches, for example, are large molecules that cannot pass through the membrane.
