There's more than two. There's diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. And water moves by osmosis
active transport
Endocytosis and exocytosis
the cell membrane (partially permeable) has tiny pores which allow certain substances in and out of the cell
Such a membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semi-permeable.
Growth and reproduction, movement, and transport of certain materials across the cell membrane
What you are considering when you are referring to how easily materials can pass through a membrane is how permeable the cell wall or membrane is.
A membrane that permits the passage of only certain molecules is called a semi-permeable membrane. In its simplest form, this separation process is based on molecular size. Smaller molecules pass through and larger ones are retained. In most biochemical processes, a concentration gradient drives the movement of molecules through the membrane.

Yes. The cell membrane allows some materials to be let in, while keeping others out. This is done by passive or active transport.
Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration.
Such a membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semi-permeable.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from where it(water) is in higher concentration to where it(water) is in lower concentration.
Considering the cell membrane itself, processes include diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion (passive processes that do not require energy) and active transport (an active process that requires energy).
permeable or impermeable
Growth and reproduction, movement, and transport of certain materials across the cell membrane
A selectively permeable membrane allows SOME but not ALL materials to cross.
Semi-permeable cell membrane.

osmosis is transfer of solution through a semi permeable membrane, and active transport isn't
