Which enzyme ensures there is an equal distribution of newly synthesized phospholipids across the membrane?
a. flippase
b. spectrin
c. scramblases
d. transferase

The correct answer is C. The enzyme that ensures there is an equal distribution of newly synthesized phospholipids across the membrane is the scramblase.

Explanation:

Scramblases are proteins used to move phospholipids from one monolayer to another of the lipid bilayer inside the plasma membrane of a cell. This protein, unlike flippase, is not selective with respect to lipids but "reverses" them on the other side of the membrane in a random and non-specific manner. It therefore causes the phospholipids not to be added only on one side when the membrane is formed or expanded, but also on the opposite side in contact with the extracellular environment.

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
