Yes, the cell membrane of a plant cell allows solutes and solvents to pass through. The cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it allows certain substances to pass through while preventing the passage of others. Small molecules, such as water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, can freely pass through the cell membrane due to its composition of phospholipids and embedded proteins that form channels or transporters. Additionally, the cell membrane may also control the movement of certain solutes through active transport mechanisms that require energy.
