    The selective permeability of a cells membrane determine what size and type of molecules can enter or not. If a molecule has a charge and the membrane has a neutral charge the molecule has a harder time diffusing through. The differences in charge affect permeability through a cell membrane.

    The cell has a semi-permeable membrane that allows water molecules to pass in a cell while larger molecules cannot. Lipid bilayer is an example of a biological semi-permeable membrane. The diffusion of water is called osmosis. Solutes such as salt and other contaminants are filtered.
