They selectively allow certain size molecules to enter, or not to enter, the cell.
Cell membrane pores are made up of protein.
Aquaporins are protein molecules embedded in the phospholipid bilayer (cell membrane ) of some cells. They transport water across the cell membrane.

The outer layer of a cell is the cell membrane or plasma membrane
The outer cell wall may be composed of glucans - sugar based layers, or poly-muco-saccarides, or glycoproteins.Interestingly, while different cell types have different outer boundaries, they all have the same inner boundary: the bi-lipid layer called the cell membrane.
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.
Cell membrane pores are made up of protein.
Cell wall
yes
Nuclear pores are the openings in the nuclear membrane that allow the passage of molecules like proteins and RNA between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. These pores are essential for maintaining communication and regulating transport between the nucleus and the rest of the cell.

Cell membrane
Yes, ion channels are protein-based cell membrane pores that allow the passage of ions across the membrane, regulating the cell's resting potential, signaling, and other cellular processes.
The cell membrane is the border allowing entry and exit of materials through the cell. Both animal and plant cells have one.
the protein form the
Pores in the cell membrane can be formed by protein complexes called ion channels or porins. Ion channels allow specific ions to pass through the membrane, while porins allow the passage of larger molecules or solutes. These pores play crucial roles in regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Nuclear pores are present in the nuclear envelope of a cell. They are specialized protein structures that act as gateways for the transport of molecules such as RNA and proteins between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
