Answer 1

The property of cell membranes that allows them to precisely determine what substances can enter or leave a cell is called selective permeability. This allows some substances to enter the cell, other substances to leave the cell, but it will not allow the proper properties of the cell to be disturbed.

Cell membrane is a part of a cell that consists of a lipid bilayer with embedded protein layer. It protects the cell from the surroundings and also regulate the entry of material in and out of the cell. The cell membrane is semipermeable (selective permeability) a property that helps it to control the materials entering or leaving the cell.
