The cells go through the cell's membrane
Some molecules can't go through the cell membrane.
Glycogen has a had time passing through a cell membrane in comparison to water.
The Mitochondria
Fluid moves into the cell through a passive process known as diffusion. Osmosis is the special name given to the diffusion of water across the semi-permeable membrane of the cell.
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
Small, Non-polar molecules. If the molecule is polar, it sticks to both sides of the membrane, and has to go through selective routes. The easiest to get through is the Non-polar (oxygen and carbon).

Some molecules can't go through the cell membrane.
Glycogen has a had time passing through a cell membrane in comparison to water.
Because it is a small molecule, water can diffuse through the cell membrane.
partially permiable membrane
selectively permeable
non penetrating substances may have molecules too large to go through a membrane or are chemically repelled by the membrane so it can't go through.
The Mitochondria
They can easily go through objects
