A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein.
an aqua protein is a channel protein which allows water to pass through a membrane during osmosis

The nuclear PORE membrane
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.
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.
An AWGN channel adds white Gaussian noise to the signal that passes through it.
Cell membranes consist of a bilayer phospholipid (hydrophobic tails and hydrophyllic heads), cholesterol, glycolipids (grow off phospholipids) and glycoproteins (grow off proteins), intrinsic Proteins (passes through both layers), extrinsic proteins (passes through only one layer). Finally, a channel protein/ transport protein/carrier protein, allow big molecules (glucose) to pass through the cell membrane.

Channel Protein.
phagocytosis
Channel proteins take specific substances across cell membranes. Molecules passing through the membrane by channel protein is called mediated transport. To transport the substances, the channel protein must be embedded in the total cell membrane.
