Answer:
A) they help transport some substances through the membrane.
Explanation:
The membrane proteins that span the bilayer of phospholipids help in the transport of polar, large and charged substances across the membrane. The nonpolar core of the membrane does not allow these charged and polar substances to pass through. Proteins serving as channels form pores to allow movement of the specific substances.
On the other hand, carrier transport proteins of the membrane bind to the substances present at one side of the membrane and deliver them to the opposite side.
For agricultural uses. For example: country or area with low precipitation and high droughts will starve if they don't have plants that can survive the harsh conditions such as genetically modified crops being able to take in less water than non genetically modified crops.
It might change over time to compensate fir its environment
