Answer:

due to large size of salt and sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Some molecules, such as hydrocarbons and oxygen can cross the membrane. Many large molecules (such as glucose and other sugars) cannot. First, imagine a semipermeable membrane, one that will allow water to pass through but keeps in dissolved molecules
