Sugar, amino acid, and nucleoside diffusion are facilitated by carrier proteins. Moreover, these are the proteins that transport substances such as salts, amino acids, and glucose inside the cell. Hence option 1 is the correct answer.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option 2 is incorrect because oxygen is a small molecule and can enter cells passively. 

Option 3 is incorrect because oxygen is a small molecule and can enter cells without the help of carrier proteins.

Option 4 is incorrect because carbon dioxide is a small molecule and can enter cells without the help of carrier proteins.
