Selective permeability is essential for effective separation of a cell or organelle from its surroundings.
2.
This characteristic is called selective permeability.
3.
Due to the selective permeability of the phospholipid membrane only specific compounds can pass through it.
4.
All potassium channel subunits have a distinctive pore-loop structure that lines the top of the pore and is responsible for potassium selective permeability.
5.
The phospholipid bilayer structure ( fluid mosaic model ) with specific membrane proteins accounts for the selective permeability of the membrane and passive and active transport mechanisms.
6.
To achieve this, they developed a voltage-clamp technique to demonstrate that impulse transmission relied upon the selective permeability of the nerve fibre membrane to particular ions.
7.
Today, most of what is known of the selective permeability of the blood brain barrier was either established by Oldendorf in his laboratory, or by others using his ingenious techniques.
8.
"' Cation Selective MSCs "': As the name suggests, they exhibit a selective permeability for positive ions with the most selective channels being those for K +.
9.
By using the selective permeability of a pig's bladder water could be removed from a condensation reaction to shift the equilibrium position of the reaction towards the condensation products according to the principle of Le Ch�telier.
