Large molecules such as glucose that cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer can still move across the membrane through transport proteins by active transport. Active transport uses energy to move molecules the bilayer.
It's called passive transport. An example of passive transport is O2 (Oxygen), and CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). They both use a "key" to get into the cell, in this case, the key is the chemical formula of O2. Things without a key require the cell to use energy to use endocytosis and exocytosis. (At least that's what my 8th grade science teacher told me!)
It is to carry oxygen from the lungs to tissue around the body.
Carbon dioxide cannot be transported across the membrane by passive transport. However, water and sodium ions can be transported using passive transport.
- Oxygen -Carbon Dioxide -Osmosis of water
oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water molecules
By Passive transport i can onlythink of glucose, but by active transport material like water, carbon dioxide, amino acids, sodium and potasium and of course oxygen! :)
Some examples of nutrients that require only passive transport through cells would be small molecules of glucose, oxygen, amino acids, carbon dioxide, and water.
They move via diffusion across a gradient.

Movement of carbon dioxide is driffen by osmosis from and to the tissue and bloodstream. Also active transport can be used. Amount of CO2 present is monitored by means of the pH of your blood as dissolved CO2 is acidic.
Diffusion is the process that allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli. This process is one of passive transport.
osmosis
which permits them to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
No, carbon dioxide and waste are transported by the blood AWAY from each cell.
