Identify the components of the portion of the plasma membrane depicted in this illustration.
Peripheral protein
Glycoprotein
Phospholipid
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify Component A
Component A is located on the surface of the plasma membrane and does not span the entire membrane. This is characteristic of a Peripheral protein.
Step 2: Identify Component B
Component B is a structure that spans the entire membrane and has carbohydrate chains attached to it. This is characteristic of a Glycoprotein.
Step 3: Identify Component C
