How would you best describe the cell membrane?
A
permeable
B
semi-permeable
C
impermeable
D
Permeability does not matter with the cell membrane.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell membranes serve as barriers and gatekeepers. They are semi-permeable, which means that some molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer but others cannot. Small hydrophobic molecules and gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide cross membranes rapidly.

Detailed explanation-2: -The semi permeable membrane in a plant cell is the Solution : Cell membrane or Plasma membrane is a living thin, delicate, elastic, selectively permeable membrane made up of proteins and lipids, present in both plant and animal cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell membrane is semi-permeable in nature in that it allows only certain substances to pass through while preventing others. The cell membrane regulates (adjusts) what comes in and what goes out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Semipermeable membrane is a type of biological membrane that allows the movement of certain molecules or ions to pass through it.
