The cell membrane primarily acts as a barrier to large, polar, and charged molecules, which cannot easily pass through its lipid bilayer. Examples of such molecules include glucose and ions like sodium and potassium. These substances typically require specific transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement across the membrane. In contrast, small nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, can diffuse freely through the membrane.
This is called endocytosis.

phosopholipid
The process you're referring to is called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell membrane invaginates, or folds inward, to engulf a molecule, forming a vesicle that transports the molecule into the cell. This mechanism allows cells to uptake large molecules or particles that cannot pass through the membrane directly.
The cell membrane contains phospholipids.
selectively permiable membrane (you might want to double check that though...)
A molecule that is too large or charged would be unable to diffuse through a cell membrane.
This is called endocytosis.
The cell membrane folds around the molecule.
