because some molecules are bigger then othersand won't diffuse into the cell... hope that helps
Becuase some molecules are too big to pass through.
Simple diffusion
They pass through channels in the cell membrane.
A membrane that does not allow substances through is impermeable. One that allows some substances, but not others, is semipermeable or selectively permeable.
it allows some substances to pass through but blocks the passage of others.

One of the characteristics of a cell membrane is that it is semi-permeable. As such, it is able to limit what can get into and out of the cell.
A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
