Question

In terms of permeability, the cell wall and plasmalemma are: (A) permeable and differentially permeable respectively (B) both semipermeable or selectively permeable (C) semipermeable and differentially permeable (D) both differentially permeable

The cell wall present in the plant cells are made up of cellulose and is freely permeable to small molecules. The plasmalemma is the plasma membrane which is differentially permeable or semipermeable and allows the movement of selected molecules in and out of the cell. These membranes also function to protect the cell from the external environment.
