1. List the functions of the following types of membrane proteins: (Yang et al. 2017).
a. Channel- The channel protein membrane's primary function is transport
facilitation of substance/ material across the membrane of a cell.
b. Carrier- The carrier membrane proteins' primary function is to make it possible
for ions, polar and charged molecules to move across the cell membrane's
structure of lipid bilayer.
c. Enzymatic- Enzymatic membrane proteins play several functions, including
hydrolase, transferase and oxidoreductase.
d. Receptor- The receptor membrane proteins play the role of providing
communication between the extracellular environment and the cell via interaction
with [particular ligands.
e. Cell-to-cell recognition- The cell-to-cell recognition membrane proteins ensure
that cells do...
