osmosis
The movement of water and dissolved materials through a cell membrane is called Osmosis.
The compound that allows materials to move through cell membranes by osmosis is water. Water moves freely through cell membranes to maintain osmotic balance within the cell.
"semipermeable"
Water.
Materials move through simple diffusion by the process of random molecular movement, where molecules naturally spread from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. This movement occurs across permeable membranes without the need for energy input, as substances seek to achieve equilibrium. Small, nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, are typically able to diffuse easily through cell membranes, while larger or charged molecules may require facilitated diffusion or active transport.

Yes, hydrophilic molecules can pass through membranes, but they typically require the assistance of transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement across the lipid bilayer.
Proteins such as transporters, channels, and pumps are the main molecules that help control the movement of substances through cell membranes. These proteins facilitate the selective transport of ions, molecules, and other substances into and out of cells, maintaining proper cellular function. Additionally, phospholipids in the membrane also play a role in regulating the movement of substances across the cell membrane.
Passive transport is the movement of molecules through cell membranes with out the use of energy by the cell
Facilitated diffusion defines he movement of materials along a concentration gradient through protein channels.
Hydrophilic cell membranes are attracted to water, while hydrophobic cell membranes repel water. The differences impact the movement of molecules across the membrane because hydrophilic molecules can easily pass through hydrophilic membranes, while hydrophobic molecules can pass through hydrophobic membranes. This selective permeability allows the cell to control what substances enter and exit.
