Answer:
The correct order, from fastest to slowest, for the passage of molecules and ions through the cell membrane is oxygen, sodium ions, glucose (option D).
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, with glycoproteins and membrane proteins, which constitutes a semi-permeable barrier to the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
The speed with which a substance can pass through the membrane depends on its chemical properties -hydrophilic substances pass through with greater difficulty than lipophilic ones- requiring in some cases specialized transport mechanisms. The different rates with which a substance passes depends on this.
- <em>Oxygen (O₂) </em><em>passes through simple diffusion, depending on a concentration gradient. It's the molecule that passes through the membrane the fastest.
</em>
- <em>In second place, there would be the </em><em>Na⁺ ions</em><em> -charged atoms- that cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, through specific ionic channels.
</em>
- <em>The </em><em>glucose</em><em> molecule, being larger, requires the use of transport proteins, being its passage through the membrane slower with respect to oxygen or sodium.</em>
Undoubtedly, molecular weight and affinity for the plasma membrane are determining factors for the passage of molecules through the lipid bilayer.

The warmer the star, the bluer it will appear. The cooler a star, the more red it will appear.
Proxima Centauri Red Dwarf Stars for example have significantly less heat, therefore their red color.
In photosynthesis, an electron carrier of the light cycles is the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or NADP. This is the oxidized form, because the reduced form of this carrier has the extra H (NADPH). This is somehow related to the electron carrier called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD (minus the phosphate).
