Question 4 Short Answer Questions (SA)

Q4) The cell membrane is called selectively permeable. Why ?

Answer:

Solution :

The cell membrane is a very thin layer of protein and fat. It allows only selective substances to pass through it, hence,it is called a selectively permeable membrane.

"Hello friends welcome leaders online cookbook solving session in desktop point at the first question the question says the cell membrane is called selectively of Liquid Fire now friends in this question. We have tell us the reason why the cell membrane is called a selectively permeable. Let's look at the self inflate first. First is the snail temperate at this of the part allow the entry and exist of the substance. The cell membrane is very thin. I'm just still nail is basically made up of protein. And act which allows the entry and exit of the substance. Don't add this process. It will allow only selective. Substance to pass through it. And as it allow only selectively substance to pass the word. It is called as selectively permeable membrane as only selectively substance are getting penetrated inside at this pair are getting the entry inside at this bite is pollock select the copy of the so this is how we approach this question. If you have any questions drop a comment below and subscribe Battle for regular updates and cue Thank you."

Which of the following statements best explains how the cell membrane is selectively permeable?

How is the cell membrane selectively permeable?

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.

Which of the following explains selectively permeable nature of cell membrane?

The membrane proteins select the molecules and allow them to pass in and out of the cell and thus, makes the membrane selective permeable.

What is the best description of the selective permeability of a cell?

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.

Which of the following is true about a selectively permeable membrane?

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.
