Lipids in a bilayer can diffuse laterally at a relatively fast rate, but "flip-flop" from one leaflet to the other very slowly without catalysis. Three protein families, flippases (or flipases), floppases, and scramblases, catalyze the movement of lipids across the bilayer.

Lipids in a bilayer can diffuse laterally at a relatively fast rate, but "flip-flop" from one leaflet to the other very slowly without
catalysis. Three protein families, flippases (or flipases), floppases, and scramblases, catalyze the movement of lipids across
the bilayer.
Classify each phrase as describing flippases, floppases, or scramblases.
Flippases
not ATP-dependent
Floppases
Answer Bank
translocate phosphatidylserine, preventing apoptosis and engulfment by macrophages
