Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of integral membrane proteins: Integral membrane proteins are proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane and can span across the membrane.

Differentiate between types of membrane proteins: Integral membrane proteins include transmembrane proteins, which span the entire lipid bilayer, and lipid-anchored proteins, which are covalently attached to lipids within the membrane.

Recognize that glycoproteins can be integral or peripheral: Glycoproteins are proteins with carbohydrate groups attached, and they can be either integral (spanning the membrane) or peripheral (attached to the surface).

Identify peripheral proteins: Peripheral proteins are not embedded in the lipid bilayer; they are attached to the membrane surface, often through interactions with integral proteins or lipid heads.

Conclude that transmembrane proteins are a type of integral membrane protein: Transmembrane proteins are integral because they span the entire membrane, making them distinct from peripheral proteins.
