The hydrophilic regions of a transmembrane protein are likely to be found on the exterior of the membrane. The transmembrane protein may have three parts: a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic segment, and another hydrophilic segment. The hydrophobic region would be in between the hydrophilic regions. The hydrophobic region will be embedded in the membrane and the hydrophilic regions will be on the inside and outside of the membrane.
Water-soluble ions and molecules cannot easily enter certain regions of a cell membrane because the lipid bilayer is hydrophobic, creating a barrier to polar and charged substances. These regions of the membrane consist of fatty acid tails that repel water-soluble substances, preventing them from diffusing freely. To facilitate their movement, cells utilize specific transport proteins, such as channels and carriers, which provide pathways for these molecules to cross the membrane.
Hydrophilic regions of proteins are typically located on the surface of the membrane, protruding outwards from both the extracellular and intracellular surfaces of the lipid bilayer. These regions interact with the aqueous environment surrounding the membrane and may be involved in various functions such as signal transduction or ion transport.
The process that occurs is called osmosis. Water molecules move through the selectively permeable membrane to even out the concentration of water on both sides of the membrane. This continues until the concentration of water is equal on both sides.
The regions or general parts of the cell are1. plasma/cell membrane = outer membrane which separates the inside of the cell from the external environment2. cytoplasm = substance in which organelles are suspended3. organelles = permanent structures that carry out specific acitivities3. inclusions = the secretion and storage areas of the cell

Newly synthesized integral proteins are guided to the membrane by signal sequences that target them to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Once at the ER, the proteins are translocated across the membrane through a channel formed by the translocon complex. The hydrophobic regions of the protein interact with the lipid bilayer, while the hydrophilic regions remain exposed to the aqueous environment, resulting in the protein being inserted into the membrane.

Things move across the membrane from lower to higher concentrations by active transport.

The movement is random, but there is a net movement from regions where there are lots of particles to ones where there are fewer particles.
Any biological cell membrane or plasma membrane is made up of phospholipid bi-layer, cholesterol, small amounts of glycolipids and specialized proteins. Some components can move little bit around their position but others such as cholesterol add to the rigidity of the membrane. Lipid rafts are also immovable regions of the membrane.
