Detailed explanation-1: -A semipermeable membrane is a type of biological or synthetic membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by diffusion. Occasionally by more specialized processes of facilitated diffusion, passive transport or active transport.

Detailed explanation-2: -Much like cell membranes, a semipermeable membrane created artificially will only let water pass, while restricting the solutes dissolved in the solution.

Detailed explanation-3: -ˌse-ˌmī-, -mi-: partially but not freely or wholly permeable. specifically : permeable to some usually small molecules but not to other usually larger particles.

Detailed explanation-4: -(A) An ideal, semipermeable membrane is freely permeable to water, but is impermeable to solute. When the membrane separates pure water on the right from solution on the left, water moves to the solution side. This water flow is osmosis.
