What membrane that allows only some materials to move in and out of the cell is?

Such a membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semi-permeable.


Why is the cell membrane said to be selectively permeable?

Because the Cell Must Be Selectively Reactive.If the Cell was not selectively permeable it it would allowed Virus's in, and they could potentially lose essential nutrients because everything would flow in and out of the cell and destroy it

What is a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but excludes others?

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.


What type of cells have membrane?

Why a red blood cell would burst if placed in a drop of water?

Just make sure that your body had a low concentration of salt also remember you red blood cells are Selectively Permeable. Which means things can go in but not come out. use your common knowledge about what is said earlier


What is a selectivly 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 :)
