they can function as gates, channels, or pores. in doing so, they can have a specific affinity for a certain particle, and only allow that particle to go in. or in the case of pores, they are always open, but only allow certain size particles to flow through.
proteins can also couple with an enzyme, such as ATPase, to function in active transport, in which they transfer ions or particles against a concentration gradient and thus give the membrane an electrochemical potential gradient that the cell can use for work
The cell's membrane allows only certain substances to diffuse in and out of the cell.
The cell membrane only allows certain molecules through.
The plasma membrane is called the semipermeable membrane because it allows certain substances to pass through while restricting the passage of others. It is selectively permeable, meaning it controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell to maintain internal balance and regulate cellular processes.
The cell membrane who ever is looking this up the cell membrane is what let things go in and out of the cell it is also known as the traffic cop:) if need any more answers look up the answer by typing in the search bar up above Thank you :)
The cell membrane is called as semi-permeable membrane because it allows only certain/selective molecules to pass through it.It mostly allows only solvent molecules to pass.It is sometimes also called as selectively permeable membrane.
The cell membrane allows only certain things to pass in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane
A membrane that only allows certain substances to cross is called a selectively permeable or semi-permeable membrane. It allows some molecules or ions to pass through while blocking others based on characteristics like size, charge, or solubility.
The cell membrane allows only certain things to pass in and out of the cell.
The permeability of the cell membrane controls which substances may pass in or out of the cell.
A permeable membrane
The cell membrane. It is a semi-permeable membrane (or selectively permeable membrane) - this means that it only lets certain certain molecules or ions pass in or out of the cell. Permeability may depend on the molecule's size, solubility, properties, or chemistry.
