...anything about passive transport via protein pathway through phospholipid layers in eukaryotic cells?
Google Scholar is failing me tonight!

Sure.
Eukaryotic cells are the more "advanced" type of cell which has various specialty compartments called organelles. These is what animals and plants are made of. Bacteria, on the other hand, are prokaryotes. They have no nucleus and their DNA just kinda floats semi freely. Eukaryotes have the DNA packaged up in a nucleus.

Great information, really!
What I am trying to figure out, I need to come up with a way to allow the passage of lipids through a polymer matrix that I am creating, or at least make it easier for the passage of lipids. The lipids are being created on one side and the solvent (hexane) will be on the ot ...[text shortened]... ce there is no phospholipid layer.....unless I used phospholipids to make the polymer.....hmmmmm

What is the polymer's structure? What's the monomer? I'm guessing the polymer is a two dimensional sheet sort of thing like a cell membrane, right? By the way, cell membranes are NOT polymers.
There need to be holes in the polymer that the lipids can physically fit thr both sides. What solvent are the lipid molecules being created in? What's creating them?
