Question

which statement about the fluid mosaic model of membrane
structure is correct?
(a) The less unsaturated the fatty acid, the more fluid nature
(6) The more unsaturated the fatty acid, the more fluid nature
(c) Higher the temperature, less fluid nature
(d) The lower the temperature, more fluid nature​

Answer 1

Answer:

If unsaturated fatty acids are compressed, the “kinks” in their tails push adjacent phospholipid molecules away, which helps maintain fluidity in the membrane. ... Cholesterol functions as a buffer, preventing lower temperatures from inhibiting fluidity and preventing higher temperatures from increasing fluidity.
