Question

match each region on the membrane proteins in the diagram (regions a - e) with its surrounding environment—meaning, the molecules that the region interacts with. a b c d e lipid interior water inside the cell water outside the cell

Explanation:

Region A is on the outside of the cell, so it interacts with water outside the cell. Region B is in the lipid - rich part of the membrane, so it interacts with the lipid interior. Region C is also in the lipid - rich part of the membrane, interacting with the lipid interior. Region D is in the lipid - rich part of the membrane, interacting with the lipid interior. Region E is on the inside of the cell, so it interacts with water inside the cell.

Answer:

A. Water outside the cell
B. Lipid interior
C. Lipid interior
D. Lipid interior
E. Water inside the cell
