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. Which student correctly identified the function of the selectively permeable membrane?
Student 1
Student 2
Student 3
Student 4
