Integral proteins are one type of membrane protein. They are constantly associated with the membrane, carrying out many different functions but they do not maintain the strength of the cell membrane. The sentence is False.

-----------------------------------

Plasmatic membranes are composed of lipids and proteins.

Among the proteins, we can find integral proteins and peripheric proteins.

Integral proteins are permanently associated with the membrane.

They accomplish many different functions such as substances transport, cellular receptors, cellular adhesion, among others.

According to how they are incrusted in the lipidic bilayer, integral proteins might be,

Transmembrane proteins ⇒ span the entire membrane

⇒ present in every membrane cells

Monotypic integral proteins ⇒ attached to only one of the lipidic layers

Integral proteins provide structure to the plasmatic membrane, but they do not maintain its strength.

What is a major role that fungi play in ecosystems

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Fungi play a crucial role in the balance of ecosystems. They colonize most habitats on earth, preferring dark, moist conditions. They can thrive in seemingly-hostile environments, such as the tundra. However, most members of the Kingdom Fungi grow on the forest floor where the dark and damp environment is rich in decaying debris from plants and animals. In these environments, fungi play a major role as decomposers and recyclers, making it possible for members of the other kingdoms to be supplied with nutrients and to live.
