Question
Transport proteins are ________ proteins.
- Animal
- Plant
- Flat
- Globular
Hint:
Transport proteins are present in the cell membrane.
The correct answer is: Globular
- Transport proteins are globular proteins.
- The cell consists of a membranous layer around the cytoplasm. This is known as the cell membrane. It helps in the movement of molecules through it, that is from the cell to the outside and vice versa.
- This membrane consists of transport proteins which help in this process of transportation. Transport proteins are a type of globular protein that transport molecules across the plasma membrane. Thus, globular proteins are of great importance in our bodies.
Globular proteins also act as enzymes apart from being a part of transport proteins.
