Lab: Diffusion Across a Semi-permeable Membrane

Question 6 • HVA 26-27 IM Biology A

Which definition is the best for “semipermeable membrane”?

Answer
A
It is a barrier that prevents materials from moving from one side to the other.
B
It is a barrier that allows materials to move freely from one side to the other.
C
It is a barrier with tiny openings that let some, but not all, materials pass through.
D
It is a barrier that helps materials move from one side to the other.

Explanation

A semipermeable membrane allows some substances to pass through while blocking others. Tiny openings can let certain materials through based on properties such as size, while other materials cannot pass. Therefore, the best definition is “a barrier with tiny openings that let some, but not all, materials pass through.”
