Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What role do membrane proteins play in cellular functions?
  • Step 1: Understand that cells have a protective outer layer called the membrane.
  • Step 2: Know that membrane proteins are special proteins located in or on the cell membrane.
  • Step 3: Learn that one main role of these proteins is to help move substances in and out of the cell, which is called transport.
