Thank you very much!
I assume that only Larry type molecules were supposed to enter the cell?

No, Larry's friends are supposed to enter, Larry is there to let them in.

Again, thank you for the answer. And thank you for mimicking my rather useless emphasis.

This isn't my strong suit either, but I think no. They open the channel so that other things can go through. They themselves are only the key to let the rest through. The cell needs a lot of stuff to function but this keeps the junk out.
