What is the function of channel proteins in the cell membrane?

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

The answer to your question is C. Cells get energy by taking in nutrients from food.

Explanation:

A. Moving water from one organelle to another is not a process to get energy but to waste energy. Cells get energy from a different process.

B. Dissolve waste products are not a process to get energy most of the cells excrete wastes.

C. By taking nutrients from food, cells get enough energy from their metabolism because nutrients are rich in chemical bonds that when they break provide energy.

D. Taking oxygen from the atmosphere is a step in the cellular respiration that helps the cell to get energy, but cellular respiration is more complex than just taking oxygen.

It acts as a barrier so basically hydrophillic loves water, The molecules and ions DONT let them enter, that's important. The channel protein poses like a gateway across the cell membrane to let the hydrophilic molecules and ions enter it, Hope that helped some answer my question please.
