By the process of simple diffusion.
diffusion
passive diffusion through the lipid bilayer
Things like oxygen, CO2 and lipids cross the membrane with simple diffusion. Water can cross the membrane with osmosis when the water moves through a channel protein in the plasma membrane. Glucose, potassium, sodium etc. moves through a carrier protein in the membrane with the process of active movement. In the process of active movement energy is needed and it is given by the glucose or ATP from the cell.
the messianinic membrane
Materials that can cross the cell membrane include small non-polar molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as small polar molecules like water. These molecules can freely pass through the lipid bilayer of the membrane due to their small size and compatibility with the hydrophobic environment of the lipid tails. However, larger molecules and charged ions require specific protein channels or transporters to cross the membrane.

Oh things like food, oxygen, ions, and even hormones.
Oxygen and water molecules can penetrate the cell membrane due to small gaps that are created by the lipid molecules. Lipid molecules overlap each other which makes the gaps. The oxygen and water molecules then enter in the gaps. The cell membrane in this case is semi permeable.
A semi-permeable membrane. Does cross - membrane transit of glucose need active transport,
i believe its their small size-- low atomic weight.
No, carbon dioxide does not need a transport protein to cross the cell membrane. It can pass through a membrane by diffusion.
Oxygen is much smaller than a protein.proteins are too largeDifference in size
