Why do we call plasma membrane as a selectively permeable membrane?.... guyss plzz answer​

Answer»

rong>We call plasma MEMBRANE as selectively permeable due to the following reasons:

Explanation:

  • Plasma membrane is made up of phospholipid bilayer which selectively allows materials to ENTER inside or outside the cell.

  • Plasma membrane is called selectively permeable as it allows specific entry of materials inside the cell.

  • Small molecules can easily pass through the plasma membrane.

  • For passing of LARGE molecules, CARRIER molecules (carrier proteins) are required along with energy in the form of ATP.
