What does the term selectively permable mean?

"Selectively permeable" refers to a membrane that allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This selectivity is based on the size, charge, or other properties of the molecules trying to cross the membrane. An example is a cell membrane, which permits the passage of specific molecules necessary for the cell's function while blocking others.

It is important to note that osmosis is a passive process driven by the concentration gradient and does not require energy input from the cell.
