Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
Nonpolar
Hydrophobic. These molecules tend to be nonpolar or have a nonpolar region, which makes them poorly soluble in water. Instead, they often interact with other nonpolar molecules.

Artificial flavors can be either polar or nonpolar, depending on their chemical structure. Some artificial flavors may have polar functional groups (such as hydroxyl or carbonyl groups), making them polar molecules, while others may have nonpolar structures, making them nonpolar molecules.
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the lipid bilayer because the lipid bilayer is made up of nonpolar molecules itself, allowing nonpolar molecules to pass through easily.

Phospholipids and soap molecules both have hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts. A phospholipid has a polar head group and two nonpolar fatty acid tails, while soap molecules have a similar structure with a polar head attached to a nonpolar hydrophobic tail. Both molecules can interact with water and oil due to their amphipathic nature.
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Fats, as well as organic compounds, are nonpolar substances. Water, however, is a polar substance. Nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances and polar substances dissolve polar substances (like dissolves like) because each are more attracted to molecules of similar structure than of different structure.
