Question

a membrane allows water through but will not allow any solutes to pass. what type of membrane is this? multiple choice permeable nonpermeable semipermeable

Explanation:

A permeable membrane allows all substances to pass. A nonpermeable membrane allows no substances to pass. A semipermeable membrane allows only certain substances (like water here) and blocks others (solutes here). So the membrane that allows water but not solutes is semipermeable.

Answer:

C. semipermeable (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A: permeable, B: nonpermeable, C: semipermeable)
