The cell membrane is called as semi-permeable membrane because it allows only certain/selective molecules to pass through it.
- It mostly allows only solvent molecules to pass.
- It is sometimes also called as selectively permeable membrane.

Is a bubble semipermeable?
no because it has no membrane
What moves through a semipermeable membrane into an area of what concentration?
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. This is called osmosis.
