steroid hormonesSteroidalHormones are steroids and go across the membrane through specific receptors - this is why a hormone will act on certain tissue only e.g. estrogen only on mammary glands, uterus etc.
Water diffusses across a semipermeable membrane
The movement of water across a membrane is called osmosis.

A substance is passing through a membrane across a concentration gradient to the point of equilibrium.
Ions need to be facilitated through a cell membrane because they are passing through a phospholipid bilayer with a hydrophobic interior. Non polar molecules are also hydrophobic, so they can pass through the membrane easily if they are small enough. Ions are polar, so they have a hard time passing through membranes.
Membrane proteins have many different functions; many are involved in transport across the cell membrane, such as channels, carriers and pumps (e.g .the Na/K-ATPase and P-glycoprotein), others are hormone receptors (e.g. EGFR and the insulin receptor) or confer structure to the cell membrane.

Movement of water across a membrane is called OSMOSIS.
Ions can't diffuse across membranes, they must used channels to transport across
Osmosis across a selectively permeable membrane allows water across but disallows other particles across the membrane.
