I assume you mean semi-permerable membrane that is permeable to the solution (water) but not the solute (salt). Osmosis can only occur if the membrane does NOT allow salt to pass through. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low salt concentration to higher salt concentration.

What surrounds a plant cell and protects it?
The thin structure that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell is called as cell membrane. This is present in most plant, animal and fungi cells. It is a selectively permeable structure and allows the flow of ions and particles from the inside of the cell to the outside and vice-versa. However plant cells, in addition to the cell membrane also have the cell wall outside the cell membrane. This provides mechanical rigidity to the cell and prevents the flow of larger particles.
What cells are in animal cells?
Animal cells are called eukaryotes.
What is the outer boundary of an animal cell called?
The outer boundary of a general animal cell is the cell membrane.
What cell part is used to describe the outer edge of a frog blood cell?
Cell membrane
Example of semi-permeable things?
Plasma membrane or cell membrane is a semi-permeable thing.It is the reason due to which this membrane is called semi-permeable membrane
What cell does the cell membrane belong to?
animal cell umm, every cell has a cell membrane, such as both plant and animal cells. umm, every cell has a cell membrane, such as both plant and animal cells.
Which structure is in both plant cells and animal cells controls the passage of substances into and out of cells?
The cell membrane is specially adapted, as it is selectively permeable.
Example of Semi permeable membrane?
Animal cell membranes are a semi-permeable membrane.
What is the name the part of the cell that surrounds the animal cell?
The thin structure that surrounds the cytoplasm of an animal cell is called as cell membrane. This is present in most plant, animal and fungi cells. It is a selectively permeable structure and allows the flow of ions and particles from the inside of the cell to the outside and vice-versa.
What provides a permeable barrier for the cell and do both animal and plant cells have it?
tight junction
Which part of animal cell is partially permeable?
cell membrane
Which part in the cell is fully permeable and selectively permeable?
in plants cell surface membrane! and in animal plasma membrane!
A membrane at the boundry of every cell that acts as a selective barrier?
The membrane at the boundary of every cell that acts as a selective barrier is called the cell membrane. The cell membrane is made of compounds called proteins and lipids.
Is a cell membrane in the plant cell or animal cell or both?
The cell membrane (also called the plasma membrane, plasmalemma, or "phospholipid bilayer") is a selectively permeable lipid bilayer found in all cells. Yeah for wikipedia.
Cell membrane in a animal cell?
Yes. Animal cells contain a cell membrane, as do all cells.
2 examples of partially permeable membranes?
A selectively permeable membrane is most often attributed to the cell membrane (plasma membrane) of cells. It is constructed of nonpolar phospholipids that will not dissolve many substances, like ions or large molecules. There are carrier proteins embedded in the membrane that allow only certain substances through.
Is cytoplasm partally permeable?
The cytoplasm is the fluid contained within a cell. The cell membrane is the barrier that encloses the cytoplasm. The cell membrane is partially permiable, not the cytoplasm.
