Question

What is the role of protein membranes in photosynthesis and respiration?

Answer 1

Anther type of protein is the carrierprotein. They attach or hold onto their “passengers” and change its shape together to get through the membrane. Describe the role of membranes in the synthesis of ATP in either cellularrespiration or photosynthesis.

Answer 2

The membrane structure plays an important role in the transportation of materials across the membrane. The cell membrane is made up of phospholipids that have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads. The proteins have hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions that determine if they get embedded into the membrane. From there, the proteins can allow certain materials to exit and enter the cell. There are specific types of transport proteins that allow specific materials to cross. For example, channel proteins have a hydrophilic channel that allows most molecules or ions to pass through. Anther type of protein is the carrier protein. They attach or hold onto their “passengers” and change its shape together to get through the membrane.
