Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does selectively-permeable mean?
A
Allow certain things to enter and leave the cell
B
Nothing gets through
C
The cell lets only large substances through
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell membrane is called selectively permeable as it only allows specific molecules to pass. Only specific molecules like water and gaseous molecules can pass through the cell membrane directly. It stops the flow of other molecules towards the two sides.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it only lets certain things in and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Selective permeability of the cell membrane refers to its ability to differentiate between different types of molecules, only allowing some molecules through while blocking others.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell membrane is semipermeable (or selectively permeable). It is made of a phospholipid bilayer, along with other various lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-5: -We can define selectively permeable membranes as those that are selectively permeable. They allow the entry of only a few substances and molecules. This is done to maintain the internal environment of the cell to a constant or nearly constant level. All cells are surrounded by a selectively-permeable membrane.
