Answer:

Most biomembranes contain both types of membrane proteins. Integral membrane proteins, also called intrinsic proteins, have one or more segments that are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer. ... Peripheral membrane proteins, or extrinsic proteins, do not interact with the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer.

Extrinsic and intrinsic protein

Explanation:

  • Cell membrane also called the plasma membrane is the outermost covering of the animal cell.
  • It is semi permeable  composed of lipids and proteins.
  • It has two types of proteins , extrinsic and intrinsic proteins.
  • Intrinsic protein includes those protein that are embedded within the plasma membrane either partially or completely.
