Question

The next ingredient in our phospholipid bilayer cake is proteins.

Membrane proteins are all over the membrane and each has a specific function. Which of these membrane proteins function as transport channels - integral or peripheral?​

Answer 1

Integral ⚘⚘⚘

⭐

Integral proteins, which are inside the cell membrane, are trans-membrane proteins that usually determine many of the functions within the membrane.

⭐

Integral proteins are hydrophobic but have hydrophilic parts.

⭐

They can be found in chains of hydrocarbons.

⭐

Because of their status as trans-membrane proteins, integral proteins can perform functions both inside and outside the membrane.

Answer 2

While membrane lipids form the basic structure of the lipid bilayer, the active functions of the membrane are dependent on the proteins. Cell adhesion, energy transduction, signaling, cell recognition and transport are just some of the important biological processes carried out by membrane proteins.
