Question

using the diagram below, identify TWO structures used in membrane transport and explain how they help that to occur

Answer 1

Answer:

The two structures used in membrane transport are 1 integral membrane protein 2 peripheral membrane protein.

Explanation:

The various protein present in the plasma membrane help the later to exhibit its function to transport various solute molecules and ions across the membrane.

      Integral membrane protein such as Na+K+ATPase helps in the transport of Na+ ions inside the cell and K+ ions outside the cell against their concentration gradient.

 Peripheral membrane proteins are present in water soluble region of either extracellular region or cytoplasmic region or both.Peripheral protein also helps in the transportation of various solute molecules .
