Answer:

Alpha-helical and beta-barrels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alpha-helical and beta-barrels are the types of transmembrane protein and both are most likely candidate for a complete transmembrane segment of a protein in the lysosomal membrane. A transmembrane protein (TP) is a type of membrane protein that spread in the whole cell membrane. Transmembrane proteins act as gateways that permit the transport of specific substances across the membrane of the cell.
