Answer: True
Explanation: The plasma membrane is a membrane the protects the cell and its environment. It regulates what goes inside and what comes out of the cell. .
Plasma membrane as a structure composed of multiple components, including phospholipid bilayer, carbohydrates, and other lipids. The phospholipids possess one head and two tails. The head is basically polar and hydrophilic (water-loving) while the tails are non-polar and hydrophobic (water-fearing).
The plasma membrane is decorated with proteins. Some protiens are extrinsic proteins that run halfway through the membrane, while others are called integral proteins that go entirely through the membrane. The function of these proteins is to serve as channels to allow the molecules to enter and leave the cell.

There are called the stomata
Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.
The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:
They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).
They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.
