Question
group of proteins found on the surface of the membrane, including glycolipids and glycoproteins
peripheral proteins
cholesterol
integral proteins
phospholipids
The description is about proteins on the membrane surface with glycolipids and glycoproteins. Peripheral proteins are on the membrane surface (unlike integral which span), and glycolipids/glycoproteins are associated with peripheral or surface - related membrane components. Cholesterol is a steroid in membranes, integral proteins span the membrane, phospholipids form the bilayer. So the correct match is peripheral proteins.
