What factors contribute to membrane fluidity? what factors contribute to membrane fluidity? hydrogen bonds cytoskeleton hydrophobic interactions covalent bonds glycerol and fatty acids hydrophylic interactions?

Answer 1

 

Hydrophobic interactions is one of the factors that contribute to membrane fluidity. The hydrophobic effect is cause of the desimination of a mixture of oil and water into its two components. It is also responsible for effects related to biology, including: cell membranes and vesicles formation, protein folding, insertion of membrane proteins into the nonpolar lipid environment and protein-small molecule associations.
