Semipermeable Membrane and Biological Membrane: An Overview

摘要

Semipermeable membrane is a type of biological and polymeric membrane that will allow certain molecules to pass through it by reverse osmosis. The rate of passage depends on the pressure, and temperature of the molecules on both side, as well as the permeability of the membrane to each solute. Depending on the membrane and the solute, permeability may also depend on solubility, and properties. How the membrane is constructed to be selective in its permeability will determine the rate and the permeability. Semipermeable membrane or Biological membranes are selectively permeable, with the passage of molecules controlled by facilitated diffusion, passive transport regulated through proteins embedded in the membrane.
