yes. semi-permeable refers to anything that can be permeated by one type of thing but not another. Most of the nutrients in our food pass through the small intestine, but most of the water (not to mention poop) does not, therefore it is semi-permeable.
ask a scientest
I think that the difference is that a semi-permeable allows only certain things to pass through which are those that are small enough while permeable again i say i think allows almost all things to pass through
Permeable mean that it is full time. Semi-permeable is when it is only part of the time.

Dialysis Tubing is a type of semi or partially permeable membrane tubing made from regenerated cellulose or cellophane. It is used for diffusion, or more accurately osmosis. It allows the passage of small molecules but not larger ones. It is used in clinical circumstances to ensure a filtered flow of molecules, preventing the flow of larger solute molecules. Small molecules can be 'washed' out of a solution which is pumped through the tubing into a solvent, usually water, which surrounds it and in which they can be flushed away.
Osmosis occurs in the small intestine during the process of nutrient absorption. Water moves through the semi-permeable membrane of the intestinal cells to maintain osmotic balance, allowing nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

semi permeable lets some substances through and impermeable lets no substances through
Yes, the tonoplast is semi-permeable, allowing it to control the movement of molecules, such as water, ions, and other small molecules, in and out of the vacuole in plant cells. This selective permeability helps maintain the osmotic balance and regulate the internal environment of the cell.
There is no real difference other than the wording; both semi-permeable and partially-permeable mean the ability to allow some substances to pass.However, OCR examiners for AS Biology have said that you should "not use the term semi-permeable when referring to cell membranes that allow water and other solutes to cross them" but should "refer to them as partially permeable."
semi permeable membrane is semi-permeable or not completely permeable...it allows particles of a certain shap or size flow through but other shapes that are large or snaller cant fit through.
