Explain the function of integral proteins in the cell membrane.

Integral proteins overspan the membrane and serve as transport proteins, ion channels, pumps, receptors, and enzymes.

What are the functions of the glycocalyx in the cell membrane?

The glycocalyx functions in protection against physical and chemical influences, transmembrane transport, cell adhesion, contact inhibition, and recognition of surface antigens.

How are nevenproduct and zuurstofradicalen related in the context of Golgi apparatus?

Nevenproduct in the Golgi apparatus includes the production of oxygen radicals, which are neutralized by peroxisomes.
