The size of the molecule. Usually if a membrane is semi - permeable (only allows some molecules through by simple diffusion) the molecule that will be allowed through most is H2O(water).
By the process of simple diffusion.
Cytoplasm
Simple diffusion does not involve the use of transport proteins and relies on the concentration gradient of molecules for movement across the membrane. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, requires specific transport proteins to help facilitate the movement of molecules across the membrane, often against their concentration gradient.
The two types of passive transport are simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the need for a specific protein. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, requires the assistance of specific transport proteins to move molecules across the membrane.
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
simple diffusion
Small or lipid soluble solutes can pass through the cell membrane via simple diffusion. This process occurs without the need for energy or specific transport proteins, as these solutes can move freely through the lipid bilayer of the membrane due to their size or lipid solubility.
By the process of simple diffusion.
facilitated diffusion
Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.
In simple diffusion, a substance passes through a membrane without any outside intermediary. The rate of diffusion is based on the force exerted..
Cytoplasm
Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of specific proteins, while simple diffusion does not require any proteins and relies on the molecules moving freely through the membrane.
