Membrane transporter.
PROTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The special structures in the cell membrane that allow materials like water and sugar to pass through are proteins called transport proteins. These proteins help facilitate the movement of specific molecules across the membrane by acting as channels or carriers. They play a crucial role in regulating the flow of substances in and out of the cell.

The cell membrane is the special structure that allows materials to pass through, utilizing channels and transport proteins to facilitate the movement of water and sugars in and out of the cell. This selective permeability helps regulate the internal environment of the cell and maintain homeostasis.

What you are considering when you are referring to how easily materials can pass through a membrane is how permeable the cell wall or membrane is.
PROTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Through proteins in the membrane.
These special structures are called protein gates or protein channels. Water is able to diffuse through the cell membrane since it is a small molecule. However, there are channels called aquaporins that allow water to enter the cell. A glucose molecule cannot just diffuse into a cell. There are glucose channels on the surface of the cell membrane that bind glucose molecules and allow them to enter the cell.
The cells go through the cell's membrane
