What makes a cell membrane selectively permeable?

Biology

A cell membrane is selectively permeable because it only allows particles to move across them due to different concentrations. Molecules move from areas of low concentration to high concentration.The cell needs to control what enters and leaves. It needs to keep somethings in and other things out. However, only the Selectively cells can enter and go out of the cell! This is why the selectively permeable membrane is permeable!

A cell membrane (the outer casing or inner casing in a plant cell) is selectively permeable because some materials can pass freely through the cell membrane while others cannot.

Answer: The Lipid bi-layer of the cellular membrane allows simple molecules to pass through. However, for certain proteins, a special transportation mode is needed.

A person who has allergies has a compromised immune system because the body’s immune system:
bixtya [17]
The body's immune system thinks what he/she is eating or inhaling is a pathogen.  The immune system sends white blood cells to attack.  This triggers an allergic reaction.
For example: I am allergic to asparagus (I'm not joking, I really am) and walnuts.  Anytime I eat one of those, my body's immune system thinks it's a pathogen for some reason and attacks and triggers an allergic reaction in me.  This makes my breathing hard and makes it really itchy.  Good thing it's not that severe so I can eat some if I want, but sometimes allergic reactions could cause hospitalization or death.

During spermatogenesis, how many spermatids are produced for every primary spermatocyte that enters meiosis?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Four

Explanation:

During spermatogenesis, some diploid spermatogonia become larger in size and transform into primary spermatocytes. These diploid primary spermatocytes enter meiosis to produce haploid spermatids. One primary spermatocyte enters meiosis-I and produces two secondary spermatocytes. These secondary spermatocytes are haploids. Each of these two secondary spermatocytes enters the meiosis-II and produces two haploid spermatids. In this way, one diploid primary spermatocyte produces four haploid spermatids.

Would you expect the stomata of a desert cactus or the stomata of a water lily plant to close during the day?
BartSMP [9]
A water lily will have more stomata. A desert cactus will have very few stomata, because in deserts plants face water shortage so in order to avoid loss of water cacti have adapted to the desert environment by possessing few stomata.
