Question

question 4 (1 point) the pollutants are blocking specific membrane proteins in fish, preventing proper ion transport. what type of membrane protein is likely involved in the transport of ions? a) glycoproteins b) channel proteins c) peripheral proteins d) lipid rafts

Explanation:

Channel proteins form pores or channels in the cell - membrane that allow specific ions to pass through, facilitating ion transport. Glycoproteins are mainly involved in cell - cell recognition and adhesion. Peripheral proteins are associated with the surface of the membrane and not directly involved in ion transport. Lipid rafts are membrane microdomains and not proteins for ion transport.

Answer:

B. Channel proteins
