Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Selective permeability means
A
All substances can cross a membrane.
B
No substances can cross a membrane.
C
Some substances can cross a membrane more easily than others.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Some of this selective property stems from the intrinsic diffusion rates for different molecules across a membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Selective permeability is a property of cellular membranes that only allows certain molecules to enter or exit the cell. This is important for the cell to maintain its internal order irrespective of the changes to the environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -In selective permeability, certain substances are able to cross the membrane, while other substances are not able to cross. In animal cells, lipid-soluble materials, hydrocarbons, and oxygen are examples of molecules the cell allows to pass through.
