Gap Junctions
Receptor Protein.
A membrane protein that permits the passage of specific substances is selectively permeable. They allow the solvent as specific solutes to pass through.
so molecules can use protein channel to cross a cell membrane-cleo
The cell membrane has two phospholipids, with hydrophilic (water-loving) heads facing the outside while the hydrophobic tails point in. Water cannot pass through because of this characteristic. The hydrophilic "heads" attract water since they are polar, but the hydrophobic "tails" are non polar and reject water. H20 passes by means of a channel protein.
A school analogy for a channel protein is a hallway with a designated passageway. Just as a channel protein serves as a selectively permeable pathway for specific molecules across a cell membrane, the hallway provides a specific pathway for students to move through and reach their designated classrooms. Other types of molecules or students may be excluded from entering the pathway, ensuring only the intended molecules or students can pass through.
The channel between the nucleus and the cytosol is called nuclear pores. They are large protein complexes that regulate the transportation of molecules.

so molecules can use protein channel to cross a cell membrane-cleo
when a protein channel allows molecules to cross through the cell membrane this is called facilitated diffusion. many might mistake this for diffusion which is the process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated.
A protein channel is a transport protein that helps larger molecules, that would otherwise not be able to defuse throw the membrane of a cell, to move in or out of the cell depending on the concentration gradient.

Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
