The proteins are biomolecules which can act as hormones and enzyme catalysts which can help in catalyzing the chemical reactions. They help in the transport of the molecules and cell membrane trafficking. The proteins are antibodies which can bind to antigens and the foreign materials. The genetic information is carried by the genes in the DNA, and not proteins.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'They contain genetic information.

Describe the function of the proteins embedded in the cell membrane
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Protein deeply embedded in the bilayer are called integral membrane proteins. Most of this integral membrane proteins span the whole bilayer and they are called Transmembrane protein.

Because many molecules and ions can not pass through the hydrophobic core of the cell membrane they need a carrier mediated transport to go in and out of the cell. Transmembrane protein serves as channels, receptors (hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitter), tissue specific antigens, ion channels, membrane based enzymes etc that moves in and out of the cell.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered to be the energy currency of life. It is the high-energy molecule that stores the ene
elixir [45]

ATP is broken down to ADP and Pi when energy is required to carry out the metabolic process. ATP is also released during the metabolic process.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The pumping of hydrogen ions across the inner membrane creates concentration gradient where there is higher concentration of the ions in the intermembrane space than in the matrix. This chemiosmotic gradient causes the ions to flow back across the membrane into the matrix, where their concentration is lower.

ATP synthase behaves as a channel protein thereby helping the hydrogen ions cross the membrane. It also has the ability to act as an enzyme, forming ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

After passing through the electron transport chain, the used electrons joins with oxygen to form water. That is why oxygen is required. In the absence of oxygen, this process will not occur.
