The correct answer is: A.Peripheral proteins are attached to the surface of the membrane.

Peripheral proteins are a type of membrane protein that are not embedded within the lipid bilayer. Instead, they are located on the surface of the membrane, either on the inner or outer side, often bound to integral proteins or to the polar heads of phospholipids.

Here’s how they differ from integral proteins:

1.Integral proteins are embedded within the lipid bilayer, often spanning the membrane from one side to the other (transmembrane proteins). These proteins typically have hydrophobic regions that inte...
