Which of the following offers an active barrier between the cell content and their environment by allowing only selective substances to pass through it?
NUMS 2019 Reconduct
Biology
Cell Structure and Function
Plasma Membrane
Elimination Tool:
When a material is selectively permeable, only chemicals required by the cell are permitted to flow through.
Option A: The cell wall is completely porous
Option B: Only chemicals needed by the cell can flow through the partly permeable plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane.
Option C: It serves as the nucleus’s membrane and only permits necessary materials to enter the nucleus.
Option D: A membrane-bound cell organelle is called a vacuole. Vacuoles, which are typically tiny in animal cells, aid in the sequestration of waste materials. Vacuoles aid in preserving the water balance in plant cells. Occasionally, a single vacuole may occupy the majority of the plant cell’s inner area.
