Osmosis
osmosis
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
D. Selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
A selectively permeable membrane allows certain substances to pass through while restricting the passage of others based on size, charge, or other properties. This property is important for controlling the movement of molecules in and out of cells and organelles.
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).
The membrane is selectively permeable because it has specific instructions on what the membrane can allow through based on the How_is_the_cell_membrane_semi_or_selectively_permeable, size, and ionization of the particle.

A membrane that lets some substances pass through but not others is known as a semipermeable membrane. Other terms that describe this type of membrane are: selectively permeable, partially permeable, or differentially permeable.
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some molecules to pass through by osmosis
