Simple Diffusion
Yes, the direction of the flow depends on the contentration of water on the out side and the inside of the cell's membrane.
because lipids are nonpolar and cannot be transported as free fatty acids through the water-filled plasma membrane of the blood
A protein gate is a pathway through a protein molecule on the plasma membrane in which ions and small molecules can diffuse in or out of a cell.

glucose
Lipid-soluble molecules such as O2 and CO2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane.
Substances that can freely pass through the plasma membrane must be small and non-polar.
Lipids or oil get through plasma membrane because plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane. It allows entry and exit of only some substances through it.
estrogen
Plasma is mostly water, so no, lipids don't usually dissolve.
plasma
they are hydrophilic and can't cross the hydrophobic region of the plasma membrane
Simple Diffusion
Channel Protein.
Ions can't diffuse across membranes, they must used channels to transport across
