Why is the cell membrane selectively permeable and how does this relate to homeostasis?

Water can diffuse across a selectively permeable membrane in a process called osmosis. Osmosis in cells is a form of facilitated diffusion. ... But the cell membrane contains channel proteins that only water molecules can pass through. Osmosis allows cells to maintain water balance as their environment changes. it realates to hemeostasis Cellular homeostasis involves maintaining a balance of several factors that make a cell healthy. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer that prevents the passage of water and ions. This allows cells to maintain a higher concentration of sodium ions out the outside of the cell.

Explanation:

it would affect precipitation by causing flooding in some areas of the world due to climate increasing, causing the glaciers in the northern and southern pole of our planet to melt.

i wish you would have provided choices to simplify it and allow me to give an exact answer.
