Change shape to transport things across membrane. Residues facing inside the pore are hydrophilic. Each channel protein permits only a particular type of ion or small molecule to pass through it. Aquaporins: permit water to cross the plasma membrane ( water-pores ) Movement of a solute across a membrane against its gradient from a region of low concentration to higher concentration. Energetically unfavorable and requires the input of energy. Occurs when individuals inherit incorrect genetic instructions from both parents for the production of one type of transmembrane protein.
