Why do cells need to use transport proteins to function?

1 Answer

A cell membrane cannot pass some materials from and into the cell. Therefore, it must contain some proteins that serve as transport proteins. They are integral membrane proteins which means they can be found within the cell membrane. Transport proteins help in movement of ions, small molecules, macromolecules across the cell membrane which are very important for normal cell functioning.
