Solution

The correct option is A recognition protein
Recognition proteins have active sites shaped to fit specific signal molecules, such as hormones. Once the protein is activated by the substance, it sets off a series of changes in the cell, such as increased metabolic rate or cell division.
So, the correct option is 'Recognition protein'.

Q. A student made a pictorial representation of eukaryotic cell membrane and labelled the components as follows:
The student has made errors while labelling the components of membrane. Which of the following hold true regarding the error?
(i) Protein A should be labelled as trans-membrane protein only and not as integral protein
(ii) The polarity of the protein A should be reversed because the cytosolic phase always shows reducing environment.
(iii) Position of cholestrol molecule should be close to polar region as it contains a polar group
