Selectively permeable membranes allow only certain materials to pass through them. True or False?

Asked by YelenaWehn95

Answer (2)

This is true, selectively permeable membranes allow only certain materials to pass through them to enter a cell and they prevent things from entering the cell that might harm it. This is an essential function of the cell membrane, and provides protection to the cell's actions and development.

Selectively permeable membranes allow only certain materials to pass through them, making this statement true. They control the movement of substances through mechanisms like passive and active transport. This functionality is essential for maintaining the cell's internal balance.
