Number of pores needed to transport 180 molecules · s−1 · cell−1 versus pore radius for different solute sizes in a pore-mediated diffusive transport model. The gradient between extracellular and intracellular concentration were kept constant at 2 µM for all the shown solute sizes. Dashed gray line shows the limit at which total area of pores equals to the area of a whole cell.
