Question

Membrane synthesis in the cell requires the selective retention of certain types of lipids on one side or the other. Which group of enzymes accomplishes this task?

Select one:
a. scramblases
b. flippases
c. kinases
d. phosphotases

Answer 1

The correct answer is - option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flippases are the enzymes that directly transport lipids towards the cytosolic surface of the plasma membrane from the external surface. These enzymes are the member of the transmembrane lipid transporter enzymes present in the membrane that are the helps in the movement or selective retention of the lipids between the two leaflet that compose a a cells membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
