Question
Chapter 5.3, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To define: The aquaporins.
Concept introduction: Transmembrane proteins are the proteins that extend completely through the membrane. These types of proteins majorly function on both the sides of the layer (intracellular and extracellular) and help to transport molecules across it.
