    Integral proteins are permanently attached to biological membranes and imbedded through the lipid bilayer. They allow molecules needed by cells, like ions, sugars, and amino acids, to easily pass through the membrane and enter the cell. Integral proteins serve as carrier proteins, channel proteins, and enzymes to transport molecules across the membrane.
