Answer:

The correct answer would be B. semi-permeable.

Plasma membrane of any cell including red blood cell is semi-permeable in nature as it is made up of lipid bilayer.

It permits the passage of certain substances across the membrane while it blocks other substances.

Gases, small uncharged or non-polar substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, et cetera can easily pass through the cell membrane of a cell.

Large or charged molecules such as proteins, sodium ions, potassium ions et cetera can not pass through the cell membrane. They require carrier proteins to pass through the membrane.

Where are the different levels of the atmosphere located?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).
