Answer:

The macromolecules that forms pumps and channels in the cell membrane, allowing the entry and exit of molecules to the cell are protein.

Explanation:

Membrane integral proteins are a type of macromolecule attached to the structure of the membrane and have ends in contact with the cytoplasm and the extracellular medium.

These <u>protein molecules can act as channels and transporters or pumps</u>, to facilitate the passage of substances through the membrane. An example of transmembrane channels are ion channels, while a protein transporter is the sodium potassium ATP-ase pump.

Membrane proteins can also act as surface receptors and enzymes linked to the cell membrane.

The other options are not correct because :

  • <em><u>Carbohydrates</u></em><em> can be found on the membrane bound to other molecules, such as glycoproteins and glycolipids, but they do not act as pumps or channels. </em>
  • <em><u>Lipids</u></em><em> have the function of being the main component of the cell membranes. </em>
  • <em><u>Nucleic acids</u></em><em> are found in the nucleus, and are not part of the cell membrane.</em>

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Even if a periodic table is not color coded, we can still find elements with the same chemical properties. This is easy because when we look at the group to find the elements, we see those that have similar chemical properties.

As an example, the Elements of group 1 forms basic oxides. This is a general chemical property of all group 1 elements.

b)

They have similar chemical properties because all the elements in any group has the same number of valence electrons.

c)

Lithium, Sodium and Potassium.

They're all elements of group 1, they all have 1 valence electron
