Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, which means ____
A
All materials can enter and leave the cell
B
Certain things can enter while others cannot
C
The cell manually sorts through all materials
D
Only certain cells can interact with the cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The membrane is selectively permeable because substances do not cross it indiscriminately. Some molecules, such as hydrocarbons and oxygen can cross the membrane. Many large molecules (such as glucose and other sugars) cannot. Water can pass through between the lipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is true that a membrane which allows only certain substances to pass through, but does not allow others to pass through it is called a selectively permeable membrane. For example, the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it only lets certain things in and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell membrane or plasma membrane is described as a selectively permeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -In other words, plasma membranes are selectively permeable-they allow some substances through but not others. If they were to lose this selectivity, the cell would no longer be able to sustain itself, and it would be destroyed.
