Answer:

The membrane phospholipids of cold-adapted organisms will have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acid tails.

Explanation:

The phospholipid tails present in the membranes may or may not have double bonds. The phospholipid tails with no double bonds are able to pack tightly which in turn makes the membrane more rigid. The fatty acid tails with one or more double bonds have kinks that do not allow them to pack tightly. Since membranes become more rigid at lower temperatures, the organisms adapted to cold conditions have more of the phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails in their membranes

Less than .1% of the energy in a food chain generally makes it from the sun to consumers
Elena-2011 [213]

This statement is true.

Reason:

Plants are capable of storing energy from the sun and with the help of that they produce their own food. And this energy is transformed to the animals as well as human being when they consume the food which was grown on the plants. But when they consume it they are only able to get 10% of the energy and the last consumers are able to get only about 1% of the energy.
