Question

Which of the following is NOT a function of membrane proteins?a.Transport molecules across the membrane.b.Transmit extracellular signals to the cell interior.c. Serve as anchors to attach the cell to the extracellular matrix.d. Generate the energy required for lipids to diffuse through the membrane.

Answer 1

The answer is D) Generate the energy required for lipids to diffuse through the membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Membrane proteins don't produce energy in any required process inside the cell. Therefore, is not a function to generate the energy that lipids require to diffuse to the membrane. Although membrane proteins develop many functions, producing energy isn't one of them.
