Starch is a polysaccharide composed of branching chains of glucose molecules. There is no receptor for starch. There are however, receptors for glucose called GLUT1, GLUT2 and GLUT3
Yes, polar molecules can cross the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion or active transport.
Molecules can cross the membrane with energy through active transport, which uses energy (often from ATP) to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Another way is through facilitated diffusion, where molecules move with the help of specific protein channels or carriers that provide energy for their transport.
Active transport requires energy to move molecules across the cell membrane, while facilitated transport uses carrier proteins to help molecules pass through the membrane without energy.
Molecules can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion via transporter proteins, and active transport using energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
Recently had a homework on the cell membrane, i do know that larger molecules that cant fit through the polar heads into the cell (like gases can...and small molecules?!) can get through only if they qualify the shape fitting of the channel protein- the one that reaches all the way from the outside to the inside of the membrane. hope this helps

Polar molecules must pass through the membrane via active transport. This is because the cellular membrane is mostly nonpolar, and polar and nonpolar molecules repel each other. Only nonpolar molecule (i.e. hormones) can pass through the membrane without active transportation.

Active transport requires energy to move molecules across a membrane against their concentration gradient. This process is facilitated by specific carrier proteins embedded in the membrane that use energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.
