Small non-polar molecules can pass through a membrane rapidly.
Gap junctions, I think in stratified squamous.

Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through 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.
Yes - usually to transport molecules of various types either into or out of the cell.
There are two types of proteins that are embedded in phospholipid membranes, extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic proteins are only partially embedded in the membrane. They aid the structural stability of the membrane and when in conjunction with glycolipids can be involved in cell recognition. Intrinsic proteins pass all the way through a membrane. Some of them may be channel proteins which act as passages through the membrane for some molecules and ions.
The process that can move molecules from a low to a high concentration through a cell membrane is active transport.

osmosis is the diffusion of particles through a semi-permiable membrane

All ionic molecules and all large fat molecules. What can get in (without help) is water and dissolved gases.
Large, polar, uncharged molecules cannot pass through a membrane without the help of protein channels embedded into the plasma membrane. Ions also have difficulty passing; they need ATPs.
A membrane, such as the cell membrane, which allows only certain types of molecules (usually small and non charged ones) to pass through it freeely.
Yes - usually to transport molecules of various types either into or out of the cell.
Plasma membrane possesses specific protein channels and lipid bilayer. Protein channels are of million different types, each allow a specific molecule to pass through it regarding its size, shape, charges on it, solubility, etc. Fat soluble molecules pass through lipid bilayer.
