Plasma membranes contain what structures that help move certain substances in and out of the cell?
Correct Answer
carrier molecules
Explanation
Plasma membranes contain carrier molecules (also called transport proteins) embedded in the membrane that help move certain substances in and out of the cell. These are used in both facilitated diffusion (passive) and active transport (energy-requiring) to move molecules that cannot cross the membrane on their own.
