Simple Diffusion
Gasses diffuse across the plasma membrane.
No, carbon dioxide does not need a transport protein to cross the cell membrane. It can pass through a membrane by diffusion.
through their cell wall
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
The cell membrane (or plasma membrane) shows semi-permeability. In short some substances, such as gases and small electrically-neutral molecules CAN pass, while others like glucose and other large polar molecules CANNOT pass. Although glucose and other large polar molecules cannot pass through the semi-permeable cell membrane, they may enter through the interior of transport proteins.
Unicellular organisms transport gases and nutrients by diffusion.

through their cell wall
The ameba gets rid of carbon dioxide and excess water by the process of exocytosis. This is the process by which gases and other wastes leave the cell through the cell membrane.
Heat passes through liquid and gases through the process called convection. In solids however it passes through the process of conduction.

A paramecium exchanges gases directly with its environment through the cell membrane.

Gases exit through the spincter, making the sound and smell we know as FART!

They respire with the help of a porous cell membrane around them.
