|
This protein is embedded in the lipid bilayer, and may sometimes have a carbohydrate chain attached to it for cell identification
|
|
Peripheral membrane protein
|
|
|
Integral membrane protein
|
|
|
Glycolipid
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Transmembrane proteins, many proteins held in the bilayer by lipid groups, and some proteins held on the membrane by unusually tight binding to other proteins cannot be released in these ways. These proteins are called integral membrane proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -A glycoprotein is a compound containing carbohydrate (or glycan) covalently linked to protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -3.2. Glycolipids are carbohydrate-attached lipids, which are associated with cell membranes. They play important roles in providing energy and serve as markers for cellular recognition (Holdt and Kraan, 2011).
