Diffusion in membrane cell

Answer:

when small molecules pass through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane simple passive diffusion occurs

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffusion is one form of passive transport that doesn't require the expenditure of cellular energy. A molecule can diffuse passively through the cell membrane if it's lipid-soluble, uncharged, and very small, or if a carrier molecule can assist it. ... The assisted process is known as facilitated diffusion.
