Why is plasma membrane called selectively permeable membrane

Answered by admin @



Plasma membrane is a outermost layer of the living cell.

It is a bi-lipid layer,consisting of a few protein molecule.

Plasma membrane is called as a selectively permeable membrane, because it allows only certain molecule to pass through the cell membrane. like oxygen,carbon dioxide,minerals some protiens etc 

It is highly selective in deciding which molecules are to be allowed to pass through the membrane .
