Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Large molecules, polar molecules, and ions, cannot easily pass through the cell membrane. Large molecules, such as glucose, amino acids, and proteins, are simply too big to fit through the phospholipid bilayer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Amino acids, glucose, and nucleotides are examples of polar molecules that are too large to diffuse across membrane bilayers. Molecules such as these require specialized transport proteins that facilitate their transport through membranes.
