osmotically active
The universal energy molecule of the cell, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cannot passively diffuse across the cell membranes. Despite its low molecular weight, ATP carries a strong negative charge making it hydrophilic and thus unable to diffuse across the lipophilic cellular membrane.
Large molecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids are generally unable to pass through the plasma membrane without assistance from transport proteins or other mechanisms. The size and charge of these molecules prevent them from diffusing across the membrane's hydrophobic interior.
The cell would be unable to maintain a stable internal environment.
If a membrane protein is unable to bind to a signaling molecule, it may not be able to transmit the intended signal across the cell membrane. This could result in disrupted cellular communication and potentially lead to improper cell function or response to stimuli.
Polar molecules are unable to easily cross biological membranes because the interior of the membrane is hydrophobic, repelling the polar molecules. This prevents them from passing through via simple diffusion. To overcome this barrier, polar molecules usually require the assistance of specific transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement across the membrane.
An impermeable solute is a substance that cannot pass through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. This means that the solute is unable to diffuse or move across the membrane and remains on one side of the membrane.
A molecule that is too large or charged would be unable to diffuse through a cell membrane.

Facilitated Diffusion is the movement of molecules across cell membranes through protein channels and carrier proteins.Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process, aka no energy required, where substances move down their concentration gradient (high concentration to low concentration) across a protein through a membrane protein because it is unable to diffuse directly through the phospholipid portion of the membrane itself.Diffusion of molecules assisted by protein channels that pierce a cell membrane
Large molecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids are generally unable to pass through the plasma membrane without assistance from transport proteins or other mechanisms. The size and charge of these molecules prevent them from diffusing across the membrane's hydrophobic interior.
Protons are unable to diffuse through the inner mitochondrial membrane because the membrane contains proteins called ATP synthase that provide a specific pathway for protons to pass through. This selective permeability allows protons to be utilized by ATP synthase to generate ATP during oxidative phosphorylation.
Large molecules such as proteins are typically unable to move across the membrane during osmosis. One example is starch molecules, which are too large to pass through the membrane pores.
