Question

A scientist is examining the function of a macromolecules in a cell. She notices that movement of large molecules into and out of the cell is disrupeted when she damages one specific type of macromolecule.

Which macromolecule has she most likely damaged

Answer 1

Proteins because the things that move stuff in and out of the cell are called transport proteins and they require ATP to function.

Answer 2

Proteins are macromolecules she most likely damaged.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The transport of large molecules is generally mediated by transport proteins which are channel proteins or carrier proteins.
• These proteins are stacked in cell membrane and help in transport of large molecules by using energy from ATP.
• So any disturbance in proteins cause damage in transport system of large molecules.
