The requirements of passive transport through the cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer) of an animal cell are that the molecule is non-polar or small enough to pass by the non-polar phospholipid tails. This is because, for there to be passive transport, no energy must be used to transport the molecule from outside of the cell to inside.
