Depends on what the pore does.

If they are channels - they are called Channels. Voltage gated / ligand activated channels.

If they are to communicate with neighbouring cells - they are called gap junctions.

What is the role nuclear pore?

Small holes in the nuclear membrane of a cell's nucleus, which allow the transportation of water solluable materials in and out of the nucleus through the nuclear membrane.


What are other names to call a stoma?

A pore.


Which structure is a gatekeeper controlling what goes in and out of the cell?

That would be the "guard cells". The stoma is an opening on the underside of many leaves and each stoma is bordered by a pair of guard cells that open and close the pore to allow for "transpiration" (the passage of water in either gaseous or liquid form into or out of the leaf). In hot, dry weather, the guard cells close to prevent water loss. In humid weather, the guard cells allow the pore to open and water can enter.


The canals that connect the cell membrane with the nuclear membrane are?

The canals that connect the cell membrane with the nuclear membrane are called nuclear pore complexes. These structures regulate the passage of molecules such as proteins and RNA between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. They are essential for maintaining proper cellular function and communication.


Why are pores in a cell membrane different sizes?

The size of the membrane pores depend on the proteins constituting the pore, thus different proteins may cause different pore sizes. So in most cases, yes, the "pores" will most likely be of different sizes.


What is the nuclear pore used for?

The nuclear pores are tiny holes in the the nuclear membrane surrounding the nucleus of a cell, which allow the movement of solluable materials through the nuclear membrane, in and out of the nucleus.

What is the protein that punches hole into the plasma membrane of a infected host cell called?

The protein that punches holes into the plasma membrane of an infected host cell is called a pore-forming protein. These proteins create pores that disrupt the cell membrane's integrity, leading to cell lysis and death.


Is DNA the same as a nuclear pore?

DNA is cause of nuclear pore (hole between two nuclear membrane) appearance. The single-stranded DNA located in pore annulus initiate nucleoporins assembly building native structure of pore complex ( please see details in Kuvichkin V.V., 2011, J. Membr. Biol. v. 241(3), pp.109-116).
