What type of protein controls what goes in and out of cells?

APEX

Membrane transport protein controls what goes in and out of cells.

Explanation:

Cellular transport depends on the movement of atoms in the transport protein, Membrane transport protein are involved in the movement of ions, small molecules and macromolecules across a cell membrane.

These proteins regulate the transport by several mechanism as the concentration of the transported substance on the internal and external side of the membrane. The proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion (require no energy) or active transport (utilize the energy released by ATP hydrolysis).

Simple Diffusion. In simple diffusion, small molecules without charges such as oxygen and carbon dioxide flow through a plasma membrane without assistance and without expending energy. Other substances such as proteins, glucose and charged particles called ions cannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane.
