What cells are found in membranes?

Membranes surround cells. There are no cells found in membranes. Membranes are composed mostly of lipids.


How goes having cells with walls help a leaf to absorb as much energy as possible?

Cell walls, unlike cell membranes, are not selectively permeable. Less energy would be able to leave the cells.


Are the membranes in a dialysis machine permeable or selectively permeable?

The dialysis membrane is selectively permeable because it doesn't allow all cells to go through it. Think of it as a kidney. When blood is sent to the kidney, the blood cells cannot fit through the dialysis inside the kidney, but the waste and bacteria in the cells do. So, The dialysis membrane is selectively permeable.


Where can selectively permeable membrane be found in animal cell and plant cell?

In animal cells, selectively permeable membranes are primarily found in the plasma membrane, which regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell. In plant cells, the plasma membrane also serves this function, but it is surrounded by a rigid cell wall that provides additional support and structure. Both types of membranes allow for the selective transport of ions, nutrients, and waste products while maintaining the cell's internal environment.


Where can selectively permeable membranes be found in a plant cell?

Selectively permeable membranes can be found in several locations within a plant cell, most notably in the plasma membrane that surrounds the cell. This membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, allowing essential nutrients to enter while keeping harmful substances out. Additionally, selectively permeable membranes are present in the tonoplast, which encloses the central vacuole, and in the membranes of organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria, each controlling the exchange of materials specific to their functions.

Are artificial membranes in a dialysis machine permeable or selectively permeable?

Artificial membranes in a dialysis machine are selectively permeable because it doesn't all cells to go through it. It doesn't allow blood cells to fit through the dialysis but it allows waste and bacteria to pass.


Does the cell membrane let the good cells in a the bad cells out?

It depends. Cell membranes are selectively permeable. Meaning it will only let certain things in and out of the cell.


Description of cell membranes?

Selectively permeable.


What is the importance of membranes being selectively permeable with respect to living things?

It helps in maintaing the specificity of compounds that enter and exists from the cells. Also it helps in maintaining the osmoregulation in many cells.


What is the permeability of the cell membranes?

A membrane is selectively permeable.


Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?

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.


What kind of membranes do cells have?

all cells have a cell membrane to regulate what goes into and out of the cell I thought was the cell wall that did that and only the cell membrane was in a plant cell... but im not sure
