B)Facilitated diffusion carrier, integral protein
C)Aquaporin, peripheral protein

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aquaporin and peripheral protein are the least-related items because aquaporin is a transmembrane protein that functions as a water channel in the cell membrane, while peripheral protein is a protein that binds to the surface of the membrane and does not cross it. The other pairs all involve integral proteins that are involved in transport across the membrane.
