differentialy permeable means, a substance which allow only certain materials to pass through it. For eg., a plant cell wall acts as a differentially permeable membrane which allow only certain materials like water, certain ions etc to pass through it.

What substance can diffuse through a differentially permeable membrane?

Diffusion across a membrane in biology is referred to as 'osmosis' & osmosis is the process by which solvent molecules move from a region of high conc. to low concentration and this can therefore occur only in one direction at a time for a perticular solution. this is a really smart answer im surprised


What is a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but excludes others?

A membrane that lets some substances pass through but not others is known as a semipermeable membrane. Other terms that describe this type of membrane are: selectively permeable, partially permeable, or differentially permeable.


What term is used to describe how the cell selects what materials enter and leave the cell?

The term is "cellular transport," which refers to the processes by which cells regulate the movement of materials across their membranes. This includes mechanisms such as passive diffusion, active transport, and facilitated diffusion.


What are the chracters of differentially abled persons?

The term "differentially abled" refers to the disabled persons. It is a more acceptable term than "handicapped". This term includes all people who are visually impaired, hearing impaired or orthopaedically impaired to various degrees.


What is the Simlilarity between osmosis and reverse osmosis?

1) They both require the presence of a differentially/selectively permeable membrane/tubing. 2) They both refers to the flow of water(ONLY WATER!!!) through a differentially/selectively permeable membrane/tubing . 3) They both require energy. - They both cannot at -273.15 degree Celsius. 4) They will both reach a equilibrium and eventually stop.


HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS IS DIFFERENT FROM OSMOSIS?

1) 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. Reverse osmosis refers to the flow of water against the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to energy gained from the surroundings or an increase in pressure.


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 is meant by partially permeable?
