It depends on what type of selectively permeable membrane.

The cell membrane, which is an example of a selectively permeable membrane, allows the passage of non-polar molecules (such as steroid hormones) and small uncharged polar molecules (such as water).

Only certain particles, ions, or water can cross a semipermeable membrane. The particles that are allowed through depends mostly on their size and the cell's needs, and the cell will filter out any particles that are too large or are harmful to the cell.

Water molecules, certain ions, glucose and non-polar compounds can pass through the cell membrane without the requirement of energy. They cannot pass through the membrane at any random location. They can only gain access to the cell interior when they pass through cell surface transporters

Lipids and to a lesser extent water. Steroid hormones.

What is definition of selectively permeable?

The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).

Define selectively permeable?

A selectively permeable membrane only allows certain material to pass through it. They do so through active or passive transport.


Is a membrane selectively permeable?

Selectively permeable means that only certain substances are able pass through the cell membrane.A selectively permeable membrane is a membrane that only can be permeated by selective things, in other words a surface that lets some molecules in but not others. Like a cell membrane will let water diffuse into it :)
