The movement of water molecules across selectively premeable?
Osmosis movement of water from high concentration to low concentration.
What type of organism is a lion natural selection or selective breeding?
A lion is naturally selected, at least in the wild. Dogs are selectively breed.
What takes materials in and out of a cell?
The plasma member is a selectively permeable membrane which allows the entry and exit of substances in and out of the cell through the process of diffusion.
Is a cell membrane permeable impermeable or partially permeable?
Plasma membranes are selectively permeable.
What makes up a selectively permeable membrane?
Plasma membrane filters what the cell needs and keeps out what will harm it. this property is called selective permeability.
Cells have selectively what?
Selectively permeable.
Cells have selectively what membranes?
Selectively permeable.
Describe two uses for selectively bred lines?
one is to do selectively job like on a form or hunting. one is to do selectively job like on a form or hunting.
What is definition of selectively permeable?
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).
What is the relationship between cell membrane and selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are indeed selectively permeable.
What is a selectively permeable memberane?
A selectively permeable membrane means that it lets some molecules through but others can't get in.
What is responsible for selectively transporting substances into the ventricles from the bloodstream?
The choroid plexus is responsible for selectively transporting substances into the ventricles from the bloodstream.
Does the membrane of a cell is selectively permeable?
no
Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are selectively permeable while cell walls are semi-selectively permeable. Keep in mind that only low level organisms, like plants, have cell walls.
What does a selectively permeable membrane do?
A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
Is a mirror selectively permeable?
A mirror is not selectively permeable. The mirror's surface is rigid since it cannot allow any substances to pass through it.
How is dialysis membrane selectively permeable?
a dialysis membrane is selectively permeable, it is used in experiments to simulate cellular membranes, and it is permeable to water but not to sucrose.
