Detailed explanation-2: -Cell membrane or plasma membrane is described as a selectively permeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fluid mosaic model said that the plasma membranes are selectively permeable; this means that the structure of a selectively permeable membrane is a mosaic of components that includes proteins, phospholipids, carbohydrates, and cholesterol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Selectively permeable membrane is the one which allows entry of certain substances, exit of some substances but prevents the passage of other substances, through it.
