Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -produce energy is not a function of membrane proteins. All the other options are primary functions of membrane proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Membrane proteins mediate processes that are fundamental for the flourishing of biological cells. Membrane-embedded transporters move ions and larger solutes across membranes, receptors mediate communication between the cell and its environment and membrane-embedded enzymes catalyze chemical reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Membrane proteins serve a range of important functions that helps cells to communicate, maintain their shape, carry out changes triggered by chemical messengers, and transport and share material.
