The inability of an integral protein to diffuse transversely in a membrane is MOST likely due to:
A. strong hydrophilic forces between the membrane and the protein.
B. the protein's asymmetric distribution.
C. the protein's numerous hydrophobic amino acid residues in the membrane's nonpolar interior.
D. strong hydrogen-bonding forces between the protein and the membrane.
why is it B and not C??
