Answer:
7 specialized proteins that are embedded in the phosholipid bilayer are;
1) Intercellular joining
2) Carrier (Transport) proteins
3) Channel proteins
4) Receptor proteins
5) Anchoring proteins
6) Glycoprotein
7) Enzymatic protein
Explanation:
1) Intercellular joining - They enable cells to adhere (hold on) to each other and they also enable inter cellular communication
2) Carrier (Transport) proteins - Assist in the transport of ions, small and macro molecules such as glucose or other proteins to cross a biological membrane
3) Channel proteins - Provides a hydrophilic passageway through cell membrane for water and polar ions
4) Receptor proteins - Receptor proteins are the proteins on the surface or inside the target cells that receive signals sent to an intended target cell
5) Anchoring proteins - Assist cytoskeleton which holds up the organs used for anchoring within cells
6) Glycoprotein - Glycoproteins are proteins that have sugar attached to them and they function as providing chemical name-tag such as to define the matching organ in an organ transplant by corresponding glycoproteins
7) Enzymatic protein - Lower the activation energy of biochemical reactions.
