Large or polar molecules, such as glucose or ions, typically require assistance to cross the cell membrane. This assistance can come in the form of transport proteins like channel proteins or carrier proteins that facilitate the movement of these molecules across the membrane.
it moves large molecules or molecules that are not soluble in lipids across across the cell membrane. (Pg. 101 in science book...1st para.)
Water is the molecule that will move easily across the cell membrane. It can cross the membrane through special channels called aquaporins. Large proteins, starch, and DNA are too large to pass through the membrane without assistance.
Large polar molecules like glucose and ions such as sodium and potassium are not permeable through the cell membrane. These molecules require specific transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement across the membrane.
Sugar molecules do not diffuse through a plant cell membrane because they are too large and polar to pass through the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer. Instead, sugar molecules are transported across the membrane by specific transport proteins, such as sugar transporters, that facilitate their movement into the cell.
Large molecules such as proteins are typically unable to move across the membrane during osmosis. One example is starch molecules, which are too large to pass through the membrane pores.
In osmosis, large molecules like proteins and polysaccharides do not move across the membrane. Only smaller molecules such as water and ions can pass through the membrane during osmosis.

bulk transport
Facilitated diffusion is the process by which transport proteins help large molecules like glucose cross the cell membrane. These proteins create a channel or carrier mechanism that allows the molecule to move across the membrane along its concentration gradient.

Protein channels allow the cell membrane to transfer large molecules across it. Remember, diffusion only occurs with small molecules. Protein channels are a necessity to transfer larger molecules.
It depends on what is moving across the membrane. Some molecules use transport proteins and the cell would need those embedded in the membrane. Water doesn't need them and it freely moves in and out.
