Whether it's charged or not, hydrophilic, hydrophobic and its size.
The membrane that indicates how easy it is for substances to cross is the cell membrane or plasma membrane. This selectively permeable membrane regulates the movement of ions and molecules in and out of the cell, allowing certain substances to pass while blocking others. Its permeability is influenced by factors such as lipid composition, protein channels, and the presence of transport mechanisms. Overall, the fluid mosaic model describes the dynamic nature of the cell membrane in facilitating or restricting substance movement.

The size, charge, and hydrophobicity of a molecule determine its ability to cross the plasma membrane. Small, nonpolar, and uncharged molecules can typically pass through the membrane via simple diffusion, while larger, charged, or hydrophilic molecules may require transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement.
In endocytosis, transported substances are enclosed in vesicles formed from the plasma membrane, which do physically cross the plasma membrane. These vesicles then transport the substances into the cell.
Oxygen is a small, nonpolar molecule that can cross the plasma membrane via simple diffusion. Sodium ions, on the other hand, are charged and larger molecules that cannot easily pass through the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane. Sodium must rely on specific transport proteins like ion channels or pumps to cross the membrane.

I think it's cytoplasme, but I don't exactly know.
Yes, the ability of a plasma membrane to allow some substances to cross more easily than others is called selective permeability. This is due to the presence of specific transport proteins and channels that facilitate the movement of certain molecules while restricting others. The lipid bilayer of the membrane also plays a role in regulating which substances can pass through.
Certain substances, such as small molecules and ions, are able to cross the cell membrane. The ability of a substance to cross the membrane is determined by its size, charge, and solubility in the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
