They must be fat soluble so they can be in contact with the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid bilayer.
The plasma membrane is made of phospholipids. Phospholipids contain a hydrophillic head group which is considered water soluable. They also contain a hydrophobic tail group whichi s considered lipid soluable
The classes of membrane proteins that allow water and solutes to bypass the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane are known as channel proteins and carrier proteins. Channel proteins form pores or channels that allow specific ions or molecules to pass through, while carrier proteins bind to specific solutes and undergo a conformational change to transport them across the membrane.
Membrane proteins have hydrophobic regions that interact poorly with water molecules, making them insoluble in water. The hydrophobic amino acid residues in these proteins tend to aggregate together to minimize their contact with water, leading to membrane proteins being more stable and functional in lipid bilayers rather than in aqueous solutions.
Integral membrane proteins: embedded within the lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins: bound to the membrane surface. Receptor proteins: involved in cell signaling and communication. Channel proteins: facilitate the passage of ions and molecules across the membrane.
Water may move through membrane pores constructed by transmembrane proteins called aquaporins. These proteins facilitate the transport of water molecules across cell membranes, allowing water to move in and out of cells rapidly and efficiently.

a cell membrane is a lipid bi-layer made of phospholipids and water
water
Membrane proteins and all other proteins are produced in cytoplasm. The proteins targeted to membranes by specific signals. Golgi vesicles transport the proteins to membrane. Not all proteins are membrane proteins
yes it is soluable in water because it is found in sea water two please message me if you think im wrong :)

Surprisingly, membrane proteins are found in or attached to the membrane.
YES!
Receptor proteins are typically membrane proteins, meaning they are located on the cell membrane.
