How do unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails affect plasma membrane fluidity?

Biology
1 answer:
Sladkaya [172]3 years ago
4 0
A phospholipid is made of glycerol, two the fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group. More unsaturated fatty acids it means less tightly packed phospholipids its results to the greater membrane fluidity. Unsaturated fatty acids are naturally occurring, meaning that the remaining hydrogen is on the same side of the molecule and result in a bending of the hydrocarbon chain.

Are triglycerides dengerous
Hatshy [7]

They are not something that you prevent from being made in your body. They are automatically made when you eat food that is not automatically converted into calories. This is used for energy later on for you body.

But too much of triglycerides is bad for you. This condition is called hypertriglyceridemia. Your doctor can detect if you have this condition by simply running a lipid panel (a blood test) that measures your overall cholesterol, you LDL and HDL cholesterol, and also measuring your triglycerides.

If you do take this test, they will make you fast for about 8 hours. They make you do this because triglycerides are usually lowest after you fast but goes up really high after a big meal (like a Thanksgiving Dinner!).

(Extra: your triglycerides are measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and if your levels are:

BELOW 150 -----------------Healthy

150-199 -----------------------Borderline

200-499 ---------------------High

500+ --------------------------Very High


Most people are under 200, so in the end, you don't have to worry about your triglyceride levels.
