selectively-permeable membrane and the process of this type of diffusion is called fascilitated diffusion
Substances that are large, charged, or polar
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.
no skin couldn't be a semipermeable membrane because it doesn't allow any substances to pass through it...
Selectively permeability is a property of biological membranes that allows them to regulate the passage of substances across them. In spite of heavy traffic through them, cell membranes are selectively permeable, and substances do not cross the barrier indiscriminately.
A membrane that does not allow substances through is impermeable. One that allows some substances, but not others, is semipermeable or selectively permeable.

semipermeable membrane
Semipermeable membranes are used in osmosis. Semipermeable membranes let some molecules pass through them but not others, so they are partially or semi permeable. For example, the membrane may let smaller size molecules pass though but block larger molecules sort of like a sifter. Thus the two molecular substances can be separated.
the cell membrane allows only certain substances to pass through it It is considered semipermeable because, it allows non charged particals to pass through.

Semipermeable is a term used to describe a membrane or material that only allows certain molecules particles or ions to pass through. This type of membrane is selectively permeable meaning that it will allow the passage of some materials while blocking others. Examples of semipermeable membranes include cell walls some plastics and biological membranes. The permeability of a semipermeable membrane is determined by its structure composition and size of the particles which it allows to pass through. The size of the particles is a key factor as smaller molecules are able to pass through more easily than larger ones. The composition and structure of the membrane also determine the type of molecules that can pass through it. Semipermeable membranes can be used in many different applications including water filtration food production and medical treatments. In water filtration semipermeable membranes are used to separate different types of molecules based on size and charge. In food production semipermeable membranes can be used to separate different components of a food such as fats and proteins. In medical treatments semipermeable membranes are used to deliver drugs and other treatments to specific parts of the body.
proteins help control movement of substances through cell membranes.
Semipermeable membrane.
One is that it consists of hydrophobic and hydrophilic "layers." It is also semi-permeable, meaning certain substances can pass through the membrane.
