Describe two different ways that integral membrane proteins associate with a membrane. How do peripheral membrane proteins associate with a membrane?
Adi S.
Explain different ways that proteins associate with membranes.
List four components of a plasma membrane and explain their function. a. Phospholipids: form the bilayer, Carbohydrates: help in adhesion; Cholesterol: provide flexibility; Integral proteins: form transporters; Peripheral proteins: part of the cell's recognition sites. b. Phospholipids: form the bilayer, Carbohydrates: help in adhesion; Cholesterol: form transporters; Integral proteins: provide flexibility, Peripheral proteins: part of the cell's recognition sites. c. Phospholipids: form the bilayer, Carbohydrates: part of the cell's recognition sites; Cholesterol: provide flexibility to the membrane; Integral proteins: form transporters; Intermediate filaments: help in adhesion. d. Phospholipids: form the bilayer; Carbohydrates: function as adhesion; Cholesterol: provide flexibility to the membrane, Integral proteins: form transporters; Intermediate filaments: part of the cell's recognition sites.
