In eukaryotic cells phospholipids,glycolipids,and cholesterol are synthesized by enzymes located in the endoplasmic reticulum a Golgi.Which of the following mediates the flow of these components to other membranes in the cell?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipid transfer proteins mediate the flow of phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol from the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi to other membranes in the cell. These proteins bind to lipids and transport them to their destination membrane. Osmosis is a passive process of water movement across a membrane. Flippases are enzymes that flip phospholipids between the two layers of the plasma membrane. Plasma membrane content refers to the lipid and protein composition of the plasma membrane, which may be influenced by the intracellular production and transport of lipids, but does not mediate their flow to other membranes.
