What would happen to nuclear transport if you removed all of the Ran-GAP? For a while nuclear import receptors will still deliver cargo to the inside of the nucleus Nuclear import receptors will be loaded with RanGTP and will gradually stop binding to the proteins with NLS signals Nuclear export receptors will no longer deliver their cargo to the outside of the membrane and will probably shuttle in and out of the nucleus full of cargo Ran-GDP will no longer be made All of the above

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.
