Lipid-soluble molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and steroid hormones, readily diffuse through plasma membranes. Water, however, requires small pores called aquaporins therefore it is aided.
A) carbon dioxide, CO2
B) oxygen, O2
C) water, H2O
Gases, water and small polar molecules can travel across the plasma membrane without the assistance of transport proteins.
small polar and nonpolare molecules
It is a phospholipid bilayer.
The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells are composed of a phospholipid bilayer.
The phospholipid forms a bilayer (two layers).

Phospholipids
The basic structure of cell membranes is a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids have a phosphate group (the head) and a lipid tail.

"Phospholipid bilayer of the mitochondrial inner membrain"
The lipid bilayer makes up the membrane of a cell. The lipid bilayer consists of opposing phospholipids, where the polar ends of both the top layer and the bottom layer of phospholipids face opposite directions.
Phospholipids make up this layer. Phospholipids belong to the family of biological polymers.
