Question
in the image the structure labeled c is known as: phospholipid peripheral protein glycolipid glycoprotein cholesterol integral protein
Peripheral proteins are loosely associated with the cell - membrane and are not embedded in the lipid bilayer. In cell - membrane diagrams, they are often shown attached to the surface of integral proteins or the lipid heads. The structure labeled C appears to be attached to the surface of the membrane, which is characteristic of a peripheral protein. Phospholipids form the bilayer structure. Glycolipids and glycoproteins have carbohydrate components. Cholesterol is embedded in the lipid bilayer to regulate fluidity. Integral proteins are embedded within the lipid bilayer.
