Water, lipids, gasses and any other very small molecule or ion that can pass through the polar heads of the bilayer or the nonpolar interior.
Polysaccharides are too large to pass through the plasma membrane by simple diffusion. Instead, they are typically transported into or out of the cell through facilitated diffusion or active transport processes using specific carrier proteins. This allows the cell to regulate the movement of polysaccharides based on its metabolic needs.
Besides the concentration of the chemical, the pore size of the plasma membrane, and the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm - nothing else influences the rate of diffusion of a chemical across a plasma membrane.

Passive processes, such as simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, account for the movement of fats and respiratory gases through the plasma membrane. These processes do not require energy input and rely on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules across the membrane.
Lipids and oils are able to move through the plasma cell membrane via simple diffusion. The lipid bilayer structure of the membrane allows for the passive and selective movement of non-polar molecules, such as lipids and oils, without the need for energy input.
Diffusion is simply the movement of one molecule from an area of high concentration to low concentration. It is semi related to the plasma membrane because plasma membrane does allow diffusion, to an extent. Plasma membrane is semipermeable and only allows certain things to diffuse in or diffuse out.
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is the organelle involved in osmosis and diffusion. It acts as a barrier that regulates the flow of molecules in and out of the cell, allowing for the passive movement of substances such as water and solutes through the process of osmosis and diffusion.

Diffusion
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
