It can be concluded that if the liquid soluble molecules move more readily across the membrane then the membrane must be made of lipids. When two parts are made of similar material then they will be more likely to allow other particles like them to pass.
Cholestrol
The cell plasma membrane is made of bipolar fatty acids with the fatty (uncharged) hydrophopic part pointed towards the inside of the plasma membrane and the hydrophillic (charged) part facing the inside of the cell or the outside of the cell.
The molecules that can pass through the cell membrane of the human cell include water. Other molecules include fat soluble vitamins.
A nonpolar zone is formed in the interior portion of a cell membrane. This zone has the ability to prevent large molecules and ions from entering through the membrane.
Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer. Cellular fluid (cytosol) and the cell's organelles are contained by the cell's membrane, which is composed of a lipid bilayer. Lipids are a type of fat. Because a cell's membrane is composed of fat, only fat-soluble molecules are able to dissolve through the membrane into the cytosol.
Cholestrol
The cell wall itself is made of lipid. To be more precise, the cell membrane is made of a bilayer of phospholipids. The hydrophobic fatty acid tails prevent water-soluble molecules passing through, but allow the transport of lipid-soluble molecules.

Most of the bilayer is hydrophobic; therefore water or water-soluble molecules do not pass through easily. Usually only fat soluble are allowed through.A cell controls what moves through the membrane by means of membrane proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer Some membrane proteins have carbohydrates attached to them, forming glycoproteins that act as identification markers.

Lipid-soluble molecules such as O2 and CO2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane.
Any molecule smaller than the holes in the membrane can pass through is the membrane is permeable. If the membrane is semi-permeable, then only molecules that the membrane selects can pass through. Electronegativity and existence of lipid layers are common selective traits for semi-permeable membranes.
it moves large molecules or molecules that are not soluble in lipids across across the cell membrane. (Pg. 101 in science book...1st para.)
Because small non polar molecules are the ones able to cross due to the fact that the membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer where the middle is composed on non polar tails
