Because they are to big and move to slow
If the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, nothing will happen to the molecules. Osmosis only occurs when there is an imbalance of the molecules across the cell membrane.
Carrier proteins facilitate the passive transport of molecules across a membrane by binding to specific molecules on one side of the membrane and changing shape to transport the molecules across to the other side. This process does not require energy and is driven by the concentration gradient of the molecules.
Larger molecules can cross epithelial membranes in capillaries through processes like transcytosis, where the molecule is taken up by the cell on one side and transported across the cell to be released on the other side. This process often involves vesicles that transport the molecule across the cell.
The hydrophilic heads of phospholipids in the cell membrane attract water molecules. These heads have a charge that interacts with the polar water molecules, allowing them to form hydrogen bonds with the water. This hydrophilic property helps create a stable structure for the cell membrane.
Particles in a given medium stop moving across the membrane during diffusion when a state of equilibrium is reached, that is when the number of particles on either side of the membrane equalizes.
The pure solvent side is the side from which more water molecules cross the semipermeable membrane.

It's called osmosis. A selectively permeable membrane will only allow certain molecules to pass trough. To illustrate: If you have a high concentration of sugar molecules on one side of the membrane, no sugar on the other side, and the sugar molecules are too big to pass trough the membrane. If this is the case, then water molecules will diffuse over to the side of the membrane with a high sugar concentration. This happens because the molecules try to distribute themselves evenly in the solution. The water molecules move because the sugar molecules can't.
The membrane is permeable to water but not to sugar.

Reverse osmosis is a membrane technical filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane.
Powdered charcoal particles are too large to pass through the pores of a membrane due to their size. The membrane acts as a barrier that only allows smaller molecules or particles to pass through, thus retaining the charcoal particles on one side of the membrane.
The model that describes the side-to-side movement of various molecules within a cell membrane is the Fluid Mosaic Model. This model depicts the cell membrane as a flexible, dynamic structure composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates. The lipid molecules can move laterally, allowing for the fluidity and diversity of interactions among membrane components, which facilitates various cellular functions.
