Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins serve as carriers, also known as transporters, to transport particles across the membrane. They possess specific binding sites for the particles they are transporting and undergo a conformational change to transport them across the membrane. The lipid bilayer and carbohydrates do not have this function.
