Soren Conner · Answer 1

Non polar molecule, small

Explanation:

Cell membrane is a selectively permeable membrane.

Factors that affect permeability of a molecule are-

A. Size - Small molecules can easily pass through the membrane than the large molecules.

B. Solubility - Non polar molecules (eg. carbon dioxide) are lipid soluble in cell membrane, so they can easily pass through the membrane than the polar molecules (eg. glucose)
