水分子通过水通道从水势较高的地方向水势较低的地方进行扩散。

水通道是连续开放的通道。

实验证明,水分子既可通过自由扩散的方式从质膜磷脂的双分子层中间的间隙通过,也可从水通道中以协助扩散的方式通过。

Passage of water molecules through the aquaporin AQP1. Because of the positive charge at the center of the channel, positively charged ions such as H3O+, are deflected. This prevents proton leakage through the channel.
