Question

multiple choice question which proteins are not embedded in the phospholipid bilayer? ○ peripheral ○ integral ○ transient

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the types of membrane proteins: Integral proteins are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer (they span or are deeply embedded). Peripheral proteins are associated with the membrane surface (not embedded in the bilayer). Transient is not a standard primary category of membrane proteins in this context. So the protein not embedded is peripheral.

Answer:

A. peripheral
