What is the significance of the protein-lined pits? O Protein attracts other proteins needed for ATP synthesis within the cell. Protein-lined pits are able to transport one molecule at a time down the concentration gradient within the cell. The polarity of proteins allows other polar molecules to attach and be transported in the cell by transport channels. Receptors within the pits allow ligands to fuse and be transported into the cell by endocytosis.

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.
