The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following biological membranes is semi-permeable, we need to analyze each option provided: 1. **Fish and Animal Bladder**: - The bladder has a membrane that allows water (solvent) to pass through while restricting the passage of solutes. This characteristic makes it semi-permeable. 2. **Egg Membrane**: - The egg membrane also exhibits semi-permeability. It allows water to pass through but prevents larger solute molecules from crossing, thus maintaining the internal environment of the egg. 3. **Plasma Membrane of Cells**: - The plasma membrane is well-known for its selective permeability. It allows certain substances (like water) to enter or exit the cell while blocking others (like ions or larger molecules), making it semi-permeable as well. 4. **All of These**: - Since all three membranes mentioned (fish and animal bladder, egg membrane, and plasma membrane) are semi-permeable, this option is also valid. Based on the analysis of each option, the correct answer is **option 4: All of these**. All the membranes listed are semi-permeable, allowing certain molecules to pass while restricting others.

Read the given statements and select the correct ones. A membrane which permits the passage of pure solvent molecules to pass through it and not the solute particles is called semi-permeable. A membrane which allows some substances to pass through it more readily than other is known as selectively // differentially permeable. All living biological membranes are perfectly semi-permeable.
