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.

∙ 12y agoThe term is "semipermeable" meaning that some molecules may enter or pass through (permeate), while others are blocked.
The more precise term is "selectively permeable." The most common examples are cell membranes, and the membranes in plant roots that allow water in.

A membrane that allows only certain substances to pass through is a?
A permeable membrane
What is the name of the membrane that allows the movement of water and substances to move through the process of active transport and passive transport?
The name of the membrane that allows movement of water and substances through the process of active and passive transport is semipermeable membrane.
How does the composition of the cell membrane help regulate the movement of substances into and out of the cell?
They pass through channels in the cell membrane.
What types of membrane allow solvent molecules to pass through but do not allow solute molecules to pass through?
A membrane that does not allow substances through is impermeable. One that allows some substances, but not others, is semipermeable or selectively permeable.
What does it mean for a cell membrane to be selectively permeable?
it allows some substances to pass through but blocks the passage of others.
A membrane that allows only certain substances to pass through is a?
A permeable membrane
What is the name of the membrane that allows the movement of water and substances to move through the process of active transport and passive transport?
The name of the membrane that allows movement of water and substances through the process of active and passive transport is semipermeable membrane.
What layer is permeable?
A fully permeable layer is a layer that allows all substances to pass through. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane that only allows some substances to infiltrate.
How does the composition of the cell membrane help regulate the movement of substances into and out of the cell?
They pass through channels in the cell membrane.
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 does a selectively permeable membrane do?
A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
What do you call a membrane that only allows certain substances 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.
How do lipid or oil get through plasma cell membrane?
Lipids or oil get through plasma membrane because plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane. It allows entry and exit of only some substances through it.
Does a permeable membrane will let substances pass through it?
Yes it does permeable membranes are membranes that allows all substances to pass through.
