yes, because it controls what comes in and out

Selectively permeable refers to a cell membrane that will let certain things in and out of the cell, but block other things.
Something that is permeable has pores through which gas or liquid may pass or be absorbed through. An example would be, "A sponge is permeable because it can absorb water." or "Some cellular membranes are permeable."
It depends what the balloon is made of. Some are made so purposely.
semi permeable lets some substances through and impermeable lets no substances through
Selectively permeable.
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).
Cell membranes are indeed selectively permeable.
a dialysis membrane is selectively permeable, it is used in experiments to simulate cellular membranes, and it is permeable to water but not to sucrose.
no
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.
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.
A mirror is not selectively permeable. The mirror's surface is rigid since it cannot allow any substances to pass through it.
A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
Cells have impermeable, permeable and selectively permeable membranes.
Membranes that are permeable (loose) tend to have lots of what?
