What protein is matched with its function? a. aquaporins – move water through the membrane by active transport b. carrier protein – nonspecific and will allow material to pass directly through c. channel protein – allow passage of material through the hydrophilic pore d. transport proteins – allow passage of material with the aid of atp

C. channel protein - allow passage of material through the hydrophilic pore

Explanation:

Channel Protein is a transport protein that has an aqueous channel throughout its transmembrane molecule, which allows the free movement of certain ions or molecules through diffusion, allowing these materials to pass through the hydrophilic pore.

From this we can conclude that the correct answer to your question is the letter C.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
