Answer 2

The correct answer is option (D) Integral and Peripheral.

EXPLANATION

• Membrane proteins are common proteins that are found in and are an integral part of the cell membrane.
• Based on the ease of extraction membrane proteins can be classified as Integral proteins and Peripheral proteins.
• Integral proteins are embedded into the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
• Integral proteins can either be transmembrane (penetrating the cell membrane) or Integral monotropic proteins that are associated with one or the other side of the membrane.
• Integral membranes can be separated using detergents, denaturing agents, or non-polar solvents.
• The function of integral proteins plays a vital role in the passage of molecules across the cell membrane and the transduction of energy and signals.
• Peripheral proteins are temporarily attached either to the cell membrane or integral proteins.
• Peripheral proteins may act as receptors, enzymes, or catalysts.
