Question

The cell membrane of the red blood cell will allow water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and glucose to pass through. because other substances are blocked from entering, this membrane is called

Answer 1

The correct answer is a semi-permeable membrane.  

A semipermeable membrane refers to a layer, which only allows some of the molecules to pass through. A semipermeable membrane can be both artificial and biological. The speed of passage relies on the concentration, pressure, and temperature of the solutes or molecules on either side, as well as the permeability of the membrane to each solute.  

On the basis of the solute and the membrane, permeability may depend on the size of the solute, properties, solubility, or chemistry. A semipermeable membrane illustrates a membrane, which permits some of the constituents to go through, while the selectively permeable membrane opts for the substances that pass through.
