Final answer:

Cell membranes have selective proteins, known as transport proteins, that make it easy for certain molecules to cross the membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cell membranes have selective proteins that make it easy for certain molecules to cross the membrane.

These proteins are transport proteins that span the membrane and allow specific molecules or ions to diffuse through.

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning only some molecules can get through.
