Lipids in a bilayer can diffuse laterally at a relatively fast rate, but \"flip-flop\" from one leaflet to the other very slowly
natima [27]

Answer:

  • flippases translocate lipids from outer (extracellular) leaflet to inner (cytosolic) leaflet,
  • floppases, move phospholipids from inner (cytoplasmic) leaflet to outer (extracellular) leaflet, ABC transporter, move phospolipids across the lipid bilayer down the concentration gradient
  • scramblases Not ATP-dependent, Activation may result in increased membrane lipid symmetry, translocate phosphatidylserine,  preventing apoptosis and engulfment by macrophages,  

Explanation:

Flipases are transportes that require energy for their functioning (ATP dependent) beause they move phospolipids across the lipid bilayer against the concentration gradient  (from extracellular side to cytosolic side).

Floppases are ABC transporters, opposite than flippases (move phospholipids from the cytosolic side).

Scrablases are bidirectional transporters, responsible for asymmetry formation. It also enables exposure of phosphatidylserineon the outer leaflet when it is necessary.
