Passive and active transport. Passive transport doesn't require the cell's energy, while active transport does.
A selectively permeable membrane means that it lets some molecules through but others can't get in.
size and shape. cell membranes are selectively permeable, so only some molecules can get through. (i.e. water can go through, but starch cant) Polarity and size.

The cell membrane only allows certain molecules through.

A selectively permeable membrane means that it lets some molecules through but others can't get in.
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).
Effector molecules are small molecules that selectively bind to proteins. These molecules also help regulate biological activity.
it is osmosis
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
Selectively permeable describes a cell membrane that allows certain ions or molecules to pass through it by means of passive or active transport.
diffusion
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
yes
