Polarity
CO2 diffuses through the cell membrane by simple passive diffusion due to its small size and non-polarity. It moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.
Water molecules cross the cell membrane through a process called osmosis, which is driven by the concentration gradient of water inside and outside the cell. Aquaporin proteins on the cell membrane facilitate the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell.
Ions can cross the neuron cell membrane through ion channels that open and close in response to various stimuli, allowing for the movement of ions in and out of the cell. This movement is essential for action potentials and communication between neurons.
Some hormones are unable to cross the cell membrane due to their size or chemical properties, so they must bind to a membrane receptor on the cell's surface to propagate their signal into the cell. This binding triggers a cascade of intracellular events that ultimately lead to the cell's response to the hormone.
There are two ions that can cross the cell membrane. The positively charged sodium and potassium ions can cross back and forth across the neuron cell membrane.
It is the ability of the membrane to allow ions and/or particles to cross.
Intracellular
Calcium is primarily transported into or out of the cell using specialized protein channels called calcium channels. These channels allow calcium ions to move across the cell membrane, either into the cell (via calcium influx) or out of the cell (via calcium efflux). Additionally, calcium can also be transported into the cell by calcium transporters such as ATPase pumps.

In order to enter the cytoplasm of a plant cell, a material would have to cross the plasma membrane and then the cell wall. The plasma membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, while the cell wall provides structural support and protection.
Yes because the cell membrane allows non polar molecules through

Vitamin D promotes the formation of the cell membrane. It helps regulate the production of phospholipids, which are essential components of cell membranes. Deficiency in vitamin D can lead to impaired cell membrane function.
Some materials cross the cell membrane by diffusion. Some cross through channels. Some bind to receptors and are actively transported.
