Definition
noun
A membrane that is selectively permeable, i.e. being permeable to only certain molecules and not to all molecules.
Supplement
An example of such membrane is the cell membrane wherein it allows passage of only certain types of molecules by diffusion and occasionally by facilitated diffusion.

What else can I help you with?
A membrane that allows some substances to pass through while excluding others would be called a?
semipermeable or 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.
Why is another word for selectively permeable?
Another word for selectively permeable is semipermeable. This term describes a membrane or barrier that allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others based on size, charge, or other characteristics.
When some molecules go through a membrane faster than others the membrane is what?
The membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semipermeable when some molecules can pass through it faster than others. This property allows the membrane to regulate the passage of specific substances.
The plasma membrane is a semipermeable membrane. This means that it is?
it is permeable to some molecules and not permeable to others.
To what is the plasma membrane said to be?
Semipermeable or selectively permeable.
A membrane that allows some substances to pass through while excluding others would be called a?
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
What do the terms semipermeable and selectively permeable refers to?
In the field of biology Semipermeable and Selectively Permeable refer to what substances the cell membrane allows to permeate (cross) into and out of the cell. The two terms can be used interchangeably.
Is a bubble semipermeable?
No, a bubble is not semipermeable. A bubble is a thin film of soapy water enclosing air or gas, which is not selectively permeable to different substances like a semipermeable membrane is.
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.
A barrier that allows some substances in while keeping other substances out is said to be?
Semipermeable membrane.
What materials are selectively permeable to water?
Pig's bladder , Parchment paper , copper sulphate solution etc are semipermeable to water.
Why is another word for selectively permeable?
Another word for selectively permeable is semipermeable. This term describes a membrane or barrier that allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others based on size, charge, or other characteristics.
What is it called when Water molecules move from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable or selectively permeable is called?
The process fo Osmosis.
When some molecules go through a membrane faster than others the membrane is what?
The membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semipermeable when some molecules can pass through it faster than others. This property allows the membrane to regulate the passage of specific substances.
Cells have selectively what?
Selectively permeable.
Does selectively permeable and semi permeable mean the same thing?
Yes, selectively permeable and semi-permeable mean the same thing. They refer to a membrane that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through while blocking others based on size, charge, or other properties.
