The permeability of molecules across a lipid bilayer depends on their size and solubility in a nonpolar solvent relative to their solubility in water. For the species O ₂, H ₂ O , K ⁺ , glycerol and glucose, the order of their permeability across a lipid bilayer in the absence of any protein transporters is
