Cell membranes are described as selectively permeable. Four students were asked to explain what this means and provided the answers given below.

• Student 1: Cell membranes prevent all materials from entering the cell

• Student 2: Cell membranes only provide structural support for the cell. 

• Student 3: Cell membranes regulate which substances can enter and exit the cell

• Student 4: Cell membranes allow water and water-soluble substances to enter the cell.
