Size. Actually very few substances are able to diffuse across the menbrane, most must be transported ie facilitated diffusion, active transport, or receptor-mediated endocytosis. Carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, and some lipid substances are able to diffuse across the membrane

What is an impermeable solute?

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.
