D. has a shape that allows it to binds with certain substances and move them into the cell

Answer 1

I believe the answer is D

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Channel protein are proteins that embedded in the cell membrane and has specific arrangements of amino acids that provide them a unique shape. These proteins help in a certain substance to move through the semipermeable membrane or cell membrane. Channel proteins help in the transport of specific molecules with facilitated diffusion.

It has a shape that helps it to allow only specific substances to move and exclude other substances.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
