It is permeable because the holes allow water, wastes and other molecules to go through.

What are some permeable cells?

Permeable cells are cells that allow the movement of certain substances across their membrane. Examples include plant cells, red blood cells, and white blood cells. These cells have specialized structures that facilitate the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.


How do some molecules get into cells?

Some molecules get into cells by going through their permeable membrane.


What is a semi permeable membrane and how does it relate to cellular transport?

A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane which allows cells to pass through it. The cells which make up the membrane of the inside of the cheek of the human mouth, for example, are semi-permeable. This allows things, like nicotine for example, to be absorbed through the membrane walls while the walls maintain structural integrity.


Which structure is in both plant cells and animal cells controls the passage of substances into and out of cells?

The cell membrane is the structure found in both plant and animal cells that controls the passage of substances into and out of cells. It is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the movement of molecules such as nutrients, ions, and waste products.


What is it called that all cells have that allow them to let materials in and out?

selectively permeable membrane.


Is the cell membrane permeable in animal cells?

I assume you mean semi-permerable membrane that is permeable to the solution (water) but not the solute (salt). Osmosis can only occur if the membrane does NOT allow salt to pass through. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low salt concentration to higher salt concentration.


Is the membrane permeable to protons?

Yes, the membrane is permeable to protons.


What type of cells have membrane?

The cell's membrane is "selectively permeable" because the cell allows some materials to enter or leave.I'm in grade eight. This is what my Science textbook says:"Because the cell membrane allows certain substances to enter or leave, but not others, it is said to be selectively permeable."

Do plant and animal cells have a plasma membrane?

Yes, both plant and animal cells have a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
