A selectively permeable membrane is most often attributed to the cell membrane (plasma membrane) of cells. It is constructed of nonpolar phospholipids that will not dissolve many substances, like ions or large molecules. There are carrier proteins embedded in the membrane that allow only certain substances through.
What else can I help you with?
Is Ba(OH)2 insoluble in water?
Ba(OH)2 is slightly soluble in water and will partially dissociate into Ba2+ and hydroxide ions.
How many energy levels are partially fully occupied in aneutral atom of calcium?
In a neutral atom of calcium, there are 4 energy levels that are partially or fully occupied. Calcium has 20 electrons, distributed among the 4 energy levels with 2, 8, 8, and 2 electrons in each energy level, respectively.
Osmosis always involves what?
Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Thus, it always involves 1) a selectively/differentially permeable membrane 2) difference in water potential(related to concentration gradient) 3)flow of water.
What are few examples of solutions?
Examples of solution are : 1) mixture of salt and sugar, 2) mixture of sugar and water.
What has a pH level of 2?
A substance with a pH level of 2 is a strong acid, such as gastric acid (stomach acid) or lemon juice. It is highly acidic and can cause burns or irritation if it comes into contact with skin or mucous membranes.
Substances that can pass through cell membranes by diffusion include?
Small molecules such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can pass through cell membranes by diffusion. Lipid-soluble molecules like alcohol and steroid hormones can also diffuse through cell membranes.
Is mitochondria have 2 membranes?
yes, inner and outer membranes
How many membranes are in the chloroplasts?
Nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane.
Definition of impermeable membrane?

How many membranes is the chloroplast surrounded by?
2
Why is it necessary to have a cell membrane on a plant cell?
The cell surface membrane is partially permeable membrance that is made up of double phospholid layers comprising of 1. lipids 2. fats 3. proteins 4. phosphate groups. This is therefore needed for the control of substances in and out of the cells (: margaret
What are permeable and impermeable rocks?
Permeability is a measure of how well a porous media transmits a fluid. It has nothing to do with the fluid itself. It is measure in (length)2. The Hydraulic Conductivity is a measure of how easily water moves through the porous media. It depends on the permeability of the matrix, but also is a function of the fluid. It is a measure of (length)/(time)
How many membranes enclose the contents of the chloroplast?
Two membranes enclose the contents of the chloroplast - the outer membrane and the inner membrane.
What are 2 examples of a?
2 Examples are _________ &
What does it mean when you say plasma membrane is permeable?
A porous membrane has openings scattered on its surface of various size and frequency. This means that such membranes allow various substances to pass through. Any molecules that are larger than the membrane's openings will not pass through.
How many membranes protect the brain?
The three membranes that protect the brain (meninges) are: 1) dura mater 2) arachnoid 3) pia mater
What are the types of connective tissue membranes?
The types of connective tissue membranes are synovial membranes, serous membranes, and mucous membranes. Synovial membranes line joint cavities and produce synovial fluid, serous membranes line body cavities closed to the outside and secrete serous fluid, and mucous membranes line surfaces open to the exterior and produce mucus.
