Substances that normally fail to cross cell membranes under any circumstances include large polar molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, due to their size and charge. Additionally, ions typically cannot pass through the lipid bilayer without assistance from specific transport proteins or channels. These substances require specialized mechanisms for transport, such as endocytosis or facilitated diffusion, to enter or exit cells.
Large molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides typically do not cross cell membranes. Additionally, charged ions like sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) may have difficulty passing through cell membranes due to their charge.

Cell membranes usually allow water, gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide), and small uncharged molecules to enter a cell. Larger molecules or charged ions may require specific transport proteins or channels to cross the membrane.
Large molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides typically do not cross cell membranes. Additionally, charged ions like sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) may have difficulty passing through cell membranes due to their charge.
Yes, large hydrophobic molecules can cross cell membranes through passive diffusion.
Yes, hydrophobic molecules can cross cell membranes because cell membranes are made up of a phospholipid bilayer that is permeable to nonpolar molecules like hydrophobic ones.
there are many different types of mechanisms that can make thing cross cell membranes two of these are by diffusing and active transport.
Penetrating solutes can cross cell membranes easily due to their ability to dissolve in lipids, while non-penetrating solutes cannot cross cell membranes easily because they do not dissolve in lipids.

Hydrophilic substances have a harder time passing through membranes than hydrophobic substances as cell membranes are primarily composed of a hydrophobic lipid bilayer. Hydrophilic substances may require the assistance of channel proteins or carrier proteins to cross the membrane efficiently.
