Question

Proteins of the plasma membrane carry out all of the following functions except
A) binding to DNA to turn on genes.
B) sending and receiving signals to and from other cells.
C) transporting substances across the membrane.
D) anchoring the cell to external structures.
E) catalyzing chemical reactions at the inner or outer surface of the membrane.

Accepted Answer

Proteins of the plasma membrane can perform a variety of functions such as cell signaling, transportation of molecules, anchoring the cell, and catalyzing chemical reactions. However, they cannot bind to DNA and turn on genes which is a function of intracellular proteins.
