because the external surface of the cell is is hydrophobic (water hating) many fat soluble products such as carbon dioxide are able to pass through.
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
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.

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.
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.
it moves large molecules or molecules that are not soluble in lipids across across the cell membrane. (Pg. 101 in science book...1st para.)

Lipid-soluble molecules such as O2 and CO2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane.
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
The drug has to be water soluble to dissolve as gastrointestinal fluid is aqueous. The drug also has to be oil soluble as only the lipid soluble non-ionized form can readily diffuse across the lipid membrane.
Yes, in an isotonic solution the movement of molecules across the membrane will stop.
