Answer:

The answer is: <em><u> It means it is a membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by means of active or passive transport. </u></em>

Explanation:

All cells are enclosed with a cell membrane. The term, <u>selectively permeable</u>, refers to :

the membrane allows some substances or molecules to enter the cells, and others to be prevented from entering. It also allows substances to leave the cell.

This process can be done by :

Active transport -requires the cell to expend energy to move the materials.

Passive transport- it can be done without using cellular energy.

Which statement explains the role of rovers in space exploration?
Ratling [72]
Rover (or sometimes planetary rover) is a space exploration vehicle designed to move across the surface of a planet or other celestial body. Some rovers have been designed to transport members of a human spaceflight crew; others have been partially or fully autonomous robots. Rovers usually arrive at the planetary surface on a lander-style spacecraft.[1] Rovers are created to land on another planet, besides Earth, to find out information and to take samples. They can collect dust, rocks, and even take pictures. They are very useful for exploring the universe.
