Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Phospholipids
Membrane biogenesis is structuring/rebuilding/repairing of the cell membrane. As the cell membrane is made of a bilayer of phospholipids embedded with proteins.It is a process carried out by the cell with the help of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and Golgi apparatus (GA). Where the SER synthesizes lipids which are added with phosphate group and modified to phospholipids by the process of phosphorylation in the GA and transported through vesicles to the cell membrane.So, the correct answer is 'Phospholipids'
