semipermeable
Semipermeable refers to a material or membrane that allows certain substances to pass through it while blocking others. This selective permeability typically involves allowing small molecules or ions to pass freely while blocking larger or charged particles. This property is particularly relevant in biological systems, such as the cell membrane, which is semipermeable to regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
