In Biology, a selective permeable cell means the cell only allows certain molecules to pass through. This concept was first introduced to understand the process of osmosis, where solute molecules move along a concentration gradient through a semi permeable membrane (also known as a selectively permeable membrane) Cells allow water molecules and small ions to pass through their membranes without the expenditure of energy.
What else can I help you with?
How is a cell affected if it looses the ability to be selectively permeable?
It will burst. It is selectively permeable to ensure that only the material that is required in the cell is able to enter it, if it looses the ability to to be selectively permeable then difusion will occur and the cell with try to be equal to the outside pressure, which will likely cause the cell to burst.
Which part in the cell is fully permeable and selectively permeable?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing only certain molecules to pass through based on size, charge, and other factors. Conversely, the nuclear envelope is fully permeable to molecules of certain sizes.
What is a cell membrane that is selectivly permeable?
A cell membrane is found on both plant and animal cells it selectively chooses what substances may enter or leave the cell. Hence the term selectively permeable. For a more advanced explanation I recommend you research protein icebergs and the different types of transport a membrane can take part in. Example active transport
Is the cell membrane selectively permeable?
There are different types of plastics and most of them are nor permeable or selectively permeable .Cellophane is a specific plastic used in biological experiments as it is selectively permeable .
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 is the relationship between cell membrane and selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are indeed selectively permeable.
Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are selectively permeable while cell walls are semi-selectively permeable. Keep in mind that only low level organisms, like plants, have cell walls.
What does it mean for a cell membraneto be selectively permeable?
it blocks the passge of most substances
Does the membrane of a cell is selectively permeable?
no
Is a cell membrane permeable impermeable or partially permeable?
Plasma membranes are selectively permeable.
What is the basic strcture of a cell membrane?
Cell membrane is elastic and transparent. It can be impermeable, permeable, semi-permeable or selectively permeable. In humans the plasma membrane is selectively permeable that is it allows entry to certain substance.
Description of cell membranes?
Selectively permeable
Is the cell memebrane selectively permeable?
Yes.
What does it mean that biological memberanes are selectively permeable?
it means that any biological membrane allows only certain solute or we can say nutrients that are required by cell, to enter into cell through itself and not other unnecessary particles hrmful to cell.. Such property is called selectively permeable or semi permeable...
What part of the cell is descibe as selectively permeable?
the cell membrane
What is selectively (semi) permeable?
A selectively permeable cell is a cell whose cell membrane only lets in certain things like food but on the other hand tries to not letting things like viruses or bacteria all cells are semi or selectively permeable
What does it mean for a cell to be selectively permeable Why does a cell have to do this?
semi permeable means the cell chooses what comes into it, they have this so they can let food particles and water in but not large items or other cells
