Lipid-soluble molecules such as O2 and CO2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane.
selectively permeable
The universal energy molecule of the cell, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cannot passively diffuse across the cell membranes. Despite its low molecular weight, ATP carries a strong negative charge making it hydrophilic and thus unable to diffuse across the lipophilic cellular membrane.
osmotically active
Diffusion is a type of passive transport but the answer I think you are looking for is this: water, gasses(N,O2,CO2...), and ions(K+, Na+...)
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
Substances that are small, nonpolar, and uncharged will diffuse through a membrane easily. This includes gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as small lipophilic molecules. Larger or charged molecules may require assistance from transport proteins to cross the membrane.

starch doesnt diffuse through the dialysis membrane.

Small, non-polar molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can diffuse through the cell membrane without the need for a channel protein. Their small size and non-polar nature allow them to passively pass through the lipid bilayer of the membrane.

Yes, ions can diffuse through a membrane.
