Question
Chapter 5.3, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The types of molecules that can easily pass easily through the plasma membrane.
Concept introduction: Membrane proteins are a part of biological membrane that primarily interacts with it to perform various functions in the cell. There are various membrane proteins that help in the transportation of molecules in and out of the cell. Based on extend of attachment to the membrane, the membrane proteins are classified as integral proteins, peripheral proteins, and transmembrane proteins.
