Question

what's the difference between peripheral and integral membrane protein ?

Answer 1

Peripheral proteins lie on the surface of plasma membrane while the integral proteins are totally burried in the membranes.
Integral proteins helps in transportation line sodium and potassium ions while peripheral proteins performs functions like acting as receptors, enzymes, providing support to the cell etc.

Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\mathcal{ANSWER :}}}$

The differences between peripheral membrane protein and integral membrane protein are as follows :

$\huge{\underline{\underline{Integral\:Proteins}}}$

Integral protein can be seen in the whole or entire bilayer.

This type of protein has hydrophilic (water loving) and hydrophobic (water hating) parts. The hydrophilic part interacts with water.

To extract integral protein from it membrane, we have to use detergents or specific organic solvents.

This proteins are insoluble in water.

$\huge{\underline{\underline{Peripheral\:Protein}}}$

This protein is located on the outer or inner surface of the membrane.

Peripheral Proteins lacks hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas or parts.

This protein can be extracted from its membrane easily.

They are soluble in water.
