  • Osmosis & Membrane Permeability: Which Molecules Don't Cross?
    During osmosis, large molecules do not move across the membrane. This is because they are too big to fit through the pores in the semi-permeable membrane.

    Here's an example:

    * Proteins are large, complex molecules that are essential for many biological processes. They are typically too large to pass through the cell membrane, even during osmosis.

    Let me know if you'd like more examples or further explanations!
