Answer: Semi-permeable

Explanation:

The cell membrane are the semi-permeable membranes which are made up of proteins and phospholipids. The semi-permeable membrane causes some molecules or ions to pass through the membrane and protects the other to enter inside. This process avoids harmful ions and molecules to pass enter inside the cell and cause damage to the cell.  This process helps in maintaining the cell metabolism.

Are humans likely affected by biomagnification? if so, which foods might be dangerous?
KIM [24]

“Biomagnification or biological magnification is the process of accumulation of certain chemicals in living organisms to a concentration higher than that occurring in the inorganic, non-living environment.”

Human beings occupies the top place of most trophic level and we know that concentration of harmful chemicals increase as we go above the trophic level. Therefore human beings are most adversely affected by biological magnification.

Humans may also be affected due to the consumption of fish and shellfish.
