Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C selectively or differentially permeable membrane
A selectively or differentially permeable membrane is a normal semipermeable membrane but allows selective transport of certain solutes. Example: Cell membrane.
A permeable membrane is one which allows the movement of both the solvent and solute across it. Example: Cell wall.
A semipermeable membrane allows the passage of solvent molecules across it but prevents the passage of solutes. Example: Animal bladder.
An impermeable membrane will not allow any molecules to pass across it. Example: Cuticle deposited over the epidermal layer.
