A semipermeable membrane is a barrier that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through while restricting others. This selective permeability is crucial in biological systems, such as cell membranes, where it facilitates the regulation of substances entering or exiting the cell. It enables processes like osmosis and diffusion, helping maintain homeostasis within organisms.
No, a bubble is not semipermeable. A bubble is a thin film of soapy water enclosing air or gas, which is not selectively permeable to different substances like a semipermeable membrane is.
Yes, both animal cells and plant cells have semipermeable membranes.
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. This is called osmosis.
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.

Semipermeable. This type of membrane permits the passage of certain substances while blocking others based on their size, charge, or other characteristics.
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
The pure solvent side is the side from which more water molecules cross the semipermeable membrane.
