Q

Several functions of the Integral Membrane Proteins

A
Structure
Receptor
Trasnprot: Facilitated diffusion
Glycoproteins
Channel Proteins
17
Q

Integral Membrane Proteins Function:

Structure

A

provide structure and shape

18
Q

Integral Membrane Proteins Function:

Receptor

A

communicate with environment via hormones, neurotransmitters, and other signaling molecules

19
Q

Integral Membrane Proteins Function:

Transport

A

can form to the size of substance passing through, able to determine polarity

20
Q

Integral Membrane Proteins Function:

Transport: Facilitated diffusion

A

proteins help things pass through, such as charged ions and glucose, a type of passive transport which moves from high to low concentrations

21
Q

Integral Membrane Proteins Function:

Glycoproteins

A

embedded in membrane to help communication and molecule transport (cell recognition proteins)

22
Q

Integral Membrane Proteins Function:

Channel Proteins

A

Allow ions and molecules to pass through from the extracellular portion to the intracellular portion
