Question

question which of the following are functions of the membrane proteins? select all that apply act as enzymes recognition protein synthesis receptors

Explanation:

• Act as enzymes: Some membrane proteins can function as enzymes, catalyzing biochemical reactions at the membrane surface.
• Recognition: Membrane proteins (like glycoproteins) are involved in cell - cell recognition, helping cells identify each other.
• Protein synthesis: Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes (either free in the cytoplasm or bound to the rough endoplasmic reticulum), not by membrane proteins.
• Receptors: Many membrane proteins act as receptors, binding to specific ligands (such as hormones or neurotransmitters) to initiate a cellular response.

Answer:

A. Act as enzymes, B. Recognition, D. Receptors
