Ahh, the fluid mosaic model... any such above named protein is 'bound' to have three parts, or Regions.

These are namely, the extracellular domain, the intracellular domain and the Trans-membrane Region. This latter is a segment of protein that is comprised mainly of non-polar amino acids that makes it particularly hydrophobic, suitable for residence within the bi-lipid layer.

What is the opsin protein?

The opsin protein is part of a superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. Each protein in this family has seven transmembrane domains and is found within the plasma membrane. The genome of seeing animals contain various opsin genes. Each have different properites - the different rhodopsins in which they are found can capture light in different wavelengths.

The part of a membrane protein that extends through the phospholipid bilayer is primarily composed of amino acids that are?

hydrophobic in nature, such as alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine. These amino acids help stabilize the protein within the lipid bilayer by interacting with the hydrophobic fatty acyl chains.
