Yeah yeah so :D,

Large polar molecules can only cross the membrane with the help of protein named channel protein and carrier protein.

So, this both proteins act like a gate, the large molecules enter the protein and the protein let the large molecules in to the membrane. (see the picture so that you can understand more, its carrier protein)

the only difference between channel protein and carrier protein is, channel proteins has fixed shape while carrier protein can flip.

Large or polar molecules like glucose can't pass through the phospholipid bilayer. Smaller molecules usually diffuse freely for example water and CO2.

Large molecules like glucose diffuse through channels. This is a form of passive transport.  Carrier proteins are involved.

An apple appears red because it red wavelengths.
alexdok [17]

A 'red' apple does not emit red light. Rather, it simply absorbs all the frequencies of visible light shining on it EXCEPT for a group of frequencies that is perceived as red, which are REFLECTED. An apple looks red to us because it REFLECTS infrared waves.
