Question

Which property of membrane enables the proteins
to move laterally in membrane?
a) Fluidity
b) Elasticity
c) Semi-permeability
d) Differential permeability.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option c is correct okyes

Answer 2

The property of the membrane that enables the proteins to move laterally in the membrane is fluidity. (option a)

• Membrane fluidity is the main thing in the case of a lipid bilayer.
• This fluidity is provided by the lipids.
• The proteins float here and there within the lipid bilayer.
• Thus lipids increase fluidity, make quasi-fluid in nature, and help protein to move in a lateral direction through the membrane.
• Elasticity provides the cell to grow bigger and small.
• Semi-permeability and differential permeability restricts the movement of large molecules but facilitates the entry of small ions.
• Thus option a is correct.
