Select the correct option: Cell membrane is selective permeable. This means that is

AAllows all materials to pass through
BAllows only water to pass through
CAllows only certain materials to pass through
Correct Answer
DAllows only ions to pass through

Solution

Selectively/ differentially permeable membranes are the membranes, which allow some substances to pass through them more readily than others. All living biological membranes are selectively permeable.
So, the correct answer is 'Allows only certain materials to pass through'.
