Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integral proteins are responsible for the transport of ions and molecules across the cell membrane. In stomatocytes, the defect in integral proteins causes increased influx of sodium and water, leading to the abnormal shape of the cell. Peripheral proteins, actin, and spectrin are not directly involved in ion transport across the cell membrane.
