antiseptic1488 [7]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The characteristic that differentiates the cell membrane from a plastic bag is that the membrane is permeable to the passage of substances.

Explanation:

Cell membrane covers the cell and is predominantly formed by a double layer of lipids, which gives it the main characteristic of behaving as a semi-permeable membrane. This indicates that the membrane allows the entry of some substances and prevents the entry of others.

<u>Unlike the cell membrane, a plastic bag is impermeable, preventing the passage of water or any other substance</u>.
