Answer: The layers of the cell membrane is made of lipid

Explanation:

The cell membrane is made of a double-lipid layer, so it permits large steroid molecules like Estron or cholesterol since they are non-polar and lipid-friendly, whereas it does not permit the hormone adrenaline because it is a polar and charged molecule and non-lipid friendly.
