How will the properties of a biological membrane change if the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids are converted from saturate

d to unsaturated chains?

kumpel [21]3 years ago

Some of the properties that will change as the biological membrane composed primarily of phospholipids change from the saturated to unsaturated fatty acid tails of the phospholipid would include, permeability of the membrane, this will cause the membrane to be more fluid and not remain as controlling of the materials. The membrane will ultimately become poor in regulating ions and other materials from coming into the cell, as the phospholipids are not tightly packed due to them being unsaturated and having carbon double bonds within them. This can also affect the overall shape of the plasma membrane as well, causing it to be not as structured, and more fluid,

Protons (p⁺)                12                                 27                             17              

Neutrons (n⁰)             12                                 33                             18              

Electrons (eˉ)             10                                 24                             18              

                                  (c)                                 (b)                            (a)

                         12/2 : 12/2 : 10/2      27/3 : 33/3 : 24/3        #n⁰ = 18

What are the conditions needed for reaction to happen in aldehydes and ketones?
miv72 [106K]

Explanation:

You may not realise it, but you come across aldehydes and ketones many times a day. Take cakes and biscuits, for example. Their golden, caramelised crust is formed thanks to the Mailliard reaction. This is a process that occurs at temperatures above 140° C, when sugars with the carbonyl group in foods react with nucleophilic amino acids to create new and complex flavours and aromas.

Another example is formaldehyde. Correctly known as methanal, it is the most common aldehyde in industry. It has multiple uses, such as in tanning and embalming, or as a fungicide. However, we can also react it with different molecules to make a variety of more useful compounds. These include polymers, adhesives and precursors to explosives. But how do aldehydes and ketones react, and why?You should remember from Aldehydes and Ketones that they both contain the carbonyl functional group , . This is a carbon atom joined to an oxygen atom by a double bond. Let's take a closer look at it.

If we compare the electronegativities of carbon and oxygen, we can see that oxygen is a lot more electronegative than carbon.
