Question
transmembrane proteins are amphipathic.
true
false
Brief Explanations
Transmembrane proteins have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions due to their interaction with the lipid - bilayer of the cell membrane. Hydrophilic regions interact with the aqueous environment inside and outside the cell, while hydrophobic regions interact with the lipid tails in the middle of the bilayer. This makes them amphipathic.
