  B.  cytoskeleton
  C.  transport
  D.  identification
  E.  intercellular attachment



(Question 3) Proteins that are embedded within, and extend across, the phospholipid bilayer are called _____ proteins.
 
  A. catalytic
  B. integral
  C. cytoskeleton
  D. peripheral



(Question 4) Some membrane proteins are not embedded within the lipid bilayer but are instead anchored loosely to either the inner or the outer surface. Such proteins are called _________ proteins.
 
  Fill in the blank with correct word.



(Question 5) Glycolipids are found on the
 
  A. outer layer of the cell membrane, and they help make the sticky sugar coating on its surface.
  B. middle layer of the cell membrane, and they function to transmit solutes through the membrane.
  C. inner layer of the cell membrane, and they provide scaffold support to the cell membrane.
  D.
