It's important for a cell to be selective, because it lets the good things in and not the bad things in, like the viruses.

What is the characteristic of a cell membrane that controls which substances that can either enter and exit the cell?

Selective permeable


When would you want to use selective media?

Selective Media - Our cell membrane has a selective permeable property. This type of membranes are important when we want to allow certain sized particles to enter while restricting other sized particles to enter our cell. Selective permeable membrane is of great use in biological samples.


What is the importance of selective permeability in a cell?

It avoids the entry of unnecessary substances.It is important in protection and efficient function.


In a cell the selective permeability of the cell membrane is most closely associated with the maintenance?

I think the answer to this question is homeostasis! If im wrong then figure it out yourself!

Is selective permeability important to cell membranes?

Yes, it's a major factor in maintaining the internal environment of cells.


How does selective permeability maintain homeostasis?

Selective permeability allows the cell to control the substances that enter and exit the cell, helping to maintain the proper balance of ions and molecules necessary for homeostasis. By selectively allowing certain substances to pass through the cell membrane while blocking others, the cell can regulate its internal environment and ensure optimal conditions for cellular processes.


Why is the cell so important?

The cell is so important because it keeps you in touch with your friends and family. some people think their cell is their life. and you think why not use a telophone but you can also text on a cell.


What are the properties and structure of the cell wall that allow it to be selective?

The cell wall decides what goes in and out of a cell


Which layer controls selective permeability?

The cell membrane controls selective permeability. Larger substances can enter the cell through endocytosis and exit through exocytosis.
