In the absence of tension, MscL channel has an energy gap separating the closed and open states Eo = 50 kT. MscL opening is associated with a 20 nm2 in-plane protein expansion (change in A). Plot its open probability (Po) as a function of membrane tension. What will be the open probabilities of two MscL channels if one situates at the pole of the bacterial cell above, another in the middle?

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
