Water is the molecule that will move easily across the cell membrane. It can cross the membrane through special channels called aquaporins. Large proteins, starch, and DNA are too large to pass through the membrane without assistance.
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
Polar molecules are unable to easily cross biological membranes because the interior of the membrane is hydrophobic, repelling the polar molecules. This prevents them from passing through via simple diffusion. To overcome this barrier, polar molecules usually require the assistance of specific transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement across the membrane.
The two types of passive transport are simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the need for a specific protein. Facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, requires the assistance of specific transport proteins to move molecules across the membrane.
A large cell will never move across an intact cell membrane.

Movement of water across a membrane is called OSMOSIS.
Ions can't diffuse across membranes, they must used channels to transport across

The equilibrium of solute across a membrane is reached when the concentration of the solute is the same on both sides of the membrane. This means that the movement of the solute molecules is balanced, with an equal number of molecules moving in and out of the membrane. At equilibrium, there is no net movement of solute across the membrane.
A carrier protein helps transport molecules across a cell membrane by binding to specific molecules and changing shape to move them across the membrane.
a voltage or electrical charge across the plasma membrane
Small particles move faster across the membrane.
When will water stop moving across a membrane when the water concentration is equal on both sides.

This prevents them from passing through via simple diffusion. To overcome this barrier, polar molecules usually require the assistance of specific transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement across the membrane.
Active transport requires assistance from membrane proteins. These proteins, such as ion pumps and carrier proteins, help move molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input to drive the process.
