- Which three proteins participate in movement of vesicles from the plasma membrane toward the endosome? Group of answer choices Arf1, dyenin, tubulin COPII, tubulin, actin Sar1, cofilin, cadherins COPI, actin, kinesinarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true about biomembrane? Membrane proteins and lipids are distributed symmetrically in the two leaflets of the bilayer. Lipid-linked proteins are anchored to the bilayer by the lipid moiety that covalently attached to the protein. Lipid molecules can diffuse laterally in each leaflet of the bilayer but they can never flip from one leaflet to another. The fluid mosaic model describes the dynamic arrangement and interaction of proteins but not lipids in membrane. Bilayers are formed by triacylglycerol, glycerophospholipids, and sphingolipids.arrow_forwardThe plasma membrane is composed of a variety of lipid molecules. 1. Phosphatidylethanolamine 2. Phosphatidylcholine 3. Phosphatidylinositol 4. Phosphatidylserine 5. Sphingomyelin 6. Glycolipids 7. Cholesterol. Which lipids contain sugar molecules?arrow_forward
