diffusion. it is lipophilic and is able to pass through the PM. thyroxine is not water soluble and is the reason why it requires a carrier protein (albumin) for circulation.

Does sugar diffuse through the cell membrane?

No. Only non-polar, small molecules can pass through a membrane by simple diffusion. A sucrose molecule is too large a molecule to pass through a membrane by simple diffusion, however, it can pass through a plasma membrane (but not any artificial membranes like Visking tubings) by facilitated diffusion, i.e. through transport proteins(specific carriers for sucrose) embedded in the membranes. ! =)
