4. Which of the following statements best describes how proteins and enzymes move within a cell?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The movement of proteins and enzymes within a cell is facilitated by intracellular receptors.

Explanation:

Proteins and enzymes (which also are proteins) move inside the cell through intracellular receptors. These receptors are proteins capable of binding other molecules such as proteins and hormones in order to transport them to different cellular locations. Thus, intracellular receptors are key players in signaling pathways that trigger signaling events to regulate a particular function, for example, activating gene expression by transporting proteins to the nucleus.
