Protein molecules are responsible for membrane transport. In passive transport diffusion is the phenomenon in which molecules flow naturally from areas of high concentration to lower concentrations.
if they are to big they undergo osmosis or diffusion
They are transported by proteins in the membrane.
They are called carrier proteins, or transport proteins.

molecules
Glucose moves across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion. This type of transport uses protein carriers to assist glucose molecules across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
The cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer with the hydrophilic ends out and the hydrophobic ends in. There are globular proteins in between the bilayer that assist in transport.
These molecules are typically membrane carbohydrates. These assist in the identification of the type of cell.
transport proteins both are carrier proteins and channel proteins
Examples of proteins in the cell membrane are pore/channel proteins, carriers, glycoproteins. Therefore protein assist in transport of substances across cell membrane. Cell recognition. Involved in mechanical strength and attachment of the cell membrane ( protein substances surround the cell membrane that allows it to attach to other cells)
Facilitated Diffusion
Glucose moves across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion. This type of transport uses protein carriers to assist glucose molecules across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
The cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer with the hydrophilic ends out and the hydrophobic ends in. There are globular proteins in between the bilayer that assist in transport.
These molecules are typically membrane carbohydrates. These assist in the identification of the type of cell.
The membranes around cells and even around some organelles do not allow much to go in and out. If the substance is too large, it can't move in without help. If the charge is 'incorrect', it needs help as well.
Usually proteins are the molecules doing the selection of what other molecules get into or out of a cell.

Diffusion directly passes through the cell membrane unaffected by the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to assist in the movement of molecules. Ions have trouble moving through the hydrophobic part of the membrane.
The cell membrane is semi-permeable, which means that it allows certain substances to go through.For substances that are too large, there are vacuoles and transport proteins that assist the large substances.There is also facilitated transport, passive transport, and active transport. Passive transport is the only one where substances can go through the membrane without the cell expending energy.
Protein molecules that assist in the proper folding that keeps the new polypeptide segregated from "bad influences" in the cytoplasmic environment while it folds spontaneously.
