Asked in NUMS 2023 2023Moderate

Cell membrane also contains _ place by active and passive transport:

Correct answer: C. Charged Pores.

  • A. Lipids
  • B. Corner Proteins
  • C. Charged Pores.
  • D. Carbohydrates

Explanation

Charged pores, also known as ion channels, are essential components of the cell membrane that facilitate the exchange of materials and play a crucial role in active and passive transport. Option B, "Corner Proteins," is not a recognized component of the cell membrane, and it should have been "Carrier Proteins" instead. Lipids (option A) form the basic structural framework of the membrane, and processing of glycoproteins (option D) is related to post-translational modification but not primarily responsible for material exchange or transport. Thank you for pointing out the correction.
