Answer: Add more of the proteins to the plasma membrane and measure the rate of the particle movement.

Explanation:

<u>A membrane protein is a protein molecule that is attached to or associated with the membrane of a cell or organelle.</u> Membrane proteins can be grouped into two groups based on the way they associate with the membrane.:

  • Integral membrane proteins are permanently rooted within the plasma membrane. They perform many important functions; these include the transport of molecules across the membrane.
  • Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that are only temporarily associated with the membrane. They can be easily removed, allowing them to become involved in cellular communication.

<u>A channel protein is an embedded protein found the cell membrane which provides a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions</u>. They have a size which excludes all but the specific molecules which move from an area of high concentration to an area with a lower concentration.

To determine if the new membrane protein is a channel protein involved in membrane transport, an experiment could be made by adding more of the proteins to the plasma membrane and measure the rate of the particle movement. If the channel is involved, then the rate will be faster because there are more channels that make the movement faster.

Answer:

Explanation:The investigation is aimed at understanding

1. how molecular size affects movement through a membrane.

Therefore

2.Add more of the proteins to the plasma membrane.

Then measure the rate of the particle movement

What are two of the processes that move tectonic plates over the surface of earth
mestny [16]
Tectonic plates float on amass of melted lava. its very hot and produces gases. these gases tend to move the plates with the compression becomes very high and the gases do not find an exit.the other reason is the plates themselves tend to move. because of the temprature gradient. the plates are hotter on the lower side which forces the plates to move up. and they are colder on the outside,which forces the plates to move downward..this is the other reason why the plates move
