Protiens have the main function in the cell membranes to transport materials in and out of the cell (because some of the substances are not to cross the lipid bilayer as they are not lipophyllic molecules so they need active or passive transporters to help them to pass through and enter the cellular environment).
So proteins can be as pupms or channels or even ligand binding receptors..
Carbohydrates are used to make the cell ridged and also they are very important to provide the cells with ATP (energy sources.
proteins form channels and pumps that help to move material across the cell membrane. carbohydrates act like chemical identification cards, allowing individual cells to identify one another.
Surprisingly, membrane proteins are found in or attached to the membrane.
Carbohydrates are not found separately in the membranes, they are always attached to proteins. Their usual role is to act as receptors or antigens. Proteins do a variety of things, mainly conducting the numerous types of membrane transport mechanisms: facilitated diffusion, channel proteins, etc. They can also act as anchors for extra- and intracellular skeletons.
These are proteins that are permanently attached to or in the cell membrane via its hydrophobic domains interacting with the membrane's phospholipids.
Integral proteins are membrane proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane phospho lipid bilayer.ATPase enzyme is an example for the integral proteins which make ATP. Peripheral proteins in contrast present on the surface of the membrane.

Membrane proteins have a variety of functions. They relay signals between the cell's inside and outside environments. Transport proteins move the molecules across the membrane.
Proteins are not primary components of cell membrane. The proteins on the cell membrane have special functions, like receptors and transporters.
Proteins
There are proteins embedded in the membrane also. Some of these proteins exist on the aqueous side (outside) while others are only embedded on the inside. These are called peripheral membrane proteins. Some proteins go span the entire length of the lipid bilayer and are called transmembrane proteins. Peripheral membrane proteins are only temporarily attached and can become free by some types of stresses (i.e. detergents, solvents etc.). Integral membrane proteins are proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane.
The cell membranes that can act as channels are called integral proteins. Peripheral proteins are the ones that are attached to just one side of the cell membrane.
Peripheral proteins are under the phospholipid bilayer, while integral proteins are inscribed in the bilayer.Integral proteins pass entirely through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane and have domains that go from the outside of the cell to the cytoplasm inside the cell. While peripheral proteins are only on the one side of the lipid bilayer, either the outside of the cell or the cytoplasmic side inside the cell, but not both.
