Question

analyze the role of special proteins embedded within the phospholipid bilayer that form the cell membrane. select the statement(s) that accurately describe their function. special proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer regulate the movement of materials across the cell membrane. special proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer function to identify, prevent, and assist in moving nutrients, products, and wastes across the cell membrane. special proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer function to prevent harmful materials from crossing the cell membrane. special proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer identify materials within the cytoplasm

Explanation:

Membrane - embedded proteins have multiple functions. They regulate and assist in the movement of substances across the cell membrane, including nutrients, products, and wastes. They also prevent harmful materials from crossing. However, identifying materials within the cytoplasm is not their main function related to the cell - membrane role.

Answer:

The second and third statements accurately describe their function.
