Osmosis
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane. While solutes like dissolved salts and sugars cannot pass through this membrane, water moves from the side with a lower solute concentration to the side with a higher solute concentration until both sides become equal.

A neuron's outer surface is a barrier that allows some charged particles (ions) to pass through more easily than others. What is the most direct and significant consequence of this selective passage?
A neuron's outer boundary allows some substances to pass through while actively restricting the movement of others, particularly those with an electrical charge. What is the most direct and critical outcome of this selective filtering property for the neuron's electrical function?
