Integral proteins allow movement of non-polar substances across membranes.
There are many uses for proteins in a cell membrane but the most common ones are: 1. Facilitated diffusion- a protein acts almost like a channel to allow molecules that cannot fit across the phospholipid bilayer to diffuse into/out of the cell 2. Active transport- proteins are used to move particles across the membrane from low to high concentration, using energy. 3. As receptor molecules which take signals from things like hormones.
Receptor proteins.

Channel proteins are on the plasma membrane, selectively transport the solutes such as ions, small and large proteins across the membrane. Carrier proteins also membrane proteins that allow diffusion of different molecules. Both proteins are chemically made up of amino acids.
Integral proteins allow movement of non-polar substances across membranes.
Carrier proteins facilitate passive transport of molecules across a membrane by changing its shape, by using ATP, to allow a substance to pass through the membrane.
They allow movement of salts and sugars through the plasma membrane
There are generally channels which allow nutrients and other materials in or out of the cell. What goes in and out of the channel depends on the channel type.

The K+ leak channel is the most important ion channel for cells to coordinate activities during synaptic transmission. It is voltage independent and allows K+ ions to move down a concentration gradient when it is opened at resting membrane potential (i.e. -70mV).
Channel proteins are integral proteins (also transmembrane proteins) which has pores that allow passage of water and hydrophilic solutes through the cell membrane.some are open while others are gates that can be open or close in respond to different stimuli:1. Ligand gate---> in respond to chemical2. Voltage gate---> in respond ot electrical potential across the plasma membrane3. Mechanical gate--> in respond to physical stress on a cell (strech,pressure)

The membranes around cells and even around some organelles do not allow much to go in and out. If the substance is too large, it can't move in without help. If the charge is 'incorrect', it needs help as well.
