In the plasma membrane, proteins help in:
Correct answer: A. Both transfer of molecules and chemical climate
- A. Both transfer of molecules and chemical climate
- B. Chemical climate
- C. Flexibility
- D. Transfer of molecules
Explanation
In the plasma membrane, proteins help in the transfer of molecules by acting as carrier proteins that transport larger molecules/polar that cannot simply diffuse in or out. Other than helping in the transfer of molecules, they also maintain the chemical climate of the plasma membrane by maintaining the ideal intracellular chemical concentrations.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
