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 mitochondria is the cell structure responsible for producing ATP energy molecules through a process called cellular respiration. It is often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell due to its role in generating energy for the cell's activities.
The phospholipid bilayer is the outer layer of the cell. It only lets very small molecules through it. The bigger ones will have to go through the proteins lodged in the bilayer and the HUGE molecules will have to perform exocytosis or endocytosis
Blood coagulation can occur either through an intrinsic or extrinsic pathway. The first step in either pathway begins with the production of Factor X,which marks the common pathway of coagulation.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a series of large flattened membranes that form a network of interconnected tubules and sacs in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It plays a key role in protein and lipid synthesis, as well as in the transport of molecules within the cell.

The mouth provides more air and a better pathway to the lungs.

A semipermeable membrane
Once a wave passes through molecules, they may vibrate, rotate, or even translate. The molecules return to their original state after the wave has passed through them, and there is no permanent change to their structure.
Charcoal effectively absorbs odors through a process called adsorption, where odor molecules are trapped on the surface of the charcoal. The porous structure of charcoal provides a large surface area for odor molecules to adhere to, removing them from the air and reducing the smell.
A ductless exhaust provides a short channel for the airflow to pass through, while a ducted exhaust provides a pathway to move the air far away.
Through veins.
Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
Osmosis moves water molecules across the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane. Protein channels help facilitate the movement of water and other molecules by providing a pathway through the membrane.
The circulatory pathway that goes through one's lungs.
