Transfusion diffusion is also known as flip-flop movement.
In this process, the lipid from one surface of the membrane moves
to another surface of the
membrane. Transfusion diffusion is a very slow and dynamic process
and requires
fairly less amount of energy.
Transfusion diffusion is also the most thermodynamically
unfavourable lipid activity.
Option D is the correct answer.
Which of the following would be the most thermodynamically unfavorable membrane lipid activity in a membrane?...
What property of membranes makes the transverse diffusion of phospholipids across the membrane energetically unfavorable? a. lateral diffusion Ob protein immobilization O c. hydrophobic interior of the membrane d. membrane fluidity
Which of the following statements are true? a. All membrane proteins are bound to the interior of the membrane. b. Both proteins and lipids undergo transverse diffusion from the inner to outer leaflets. c. Some proteins and lipids undergo lateral diffusion along the surface of the membrane. d. Carbohydrates are found covalently attached to molecules on the outside of the membrane. e. The term 'mosaic' describes a highly-ordered region of the membrane rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids.

Question 24 Which of the following categories of membrane proteins is most likely to have restricted lateral mobility in a membrane? enzyme transporter O anchor O receptor all are restricted Question 5 New membrane synthesis occurs by spontaneous aggregation of free phospholipids into a new bilayer incorporation of phospholipids into one face of a preexisting membrane and their specific redistribution by enzymes like flippases incorporation of phospholipids into both faces of a preexisting membrane at the same time formation of...
