The effect of cholesterol on membrane fluidity at physiological temperatures is to Choose one: A. prevent lateral movement of ph
ospholipids and thereby decrease membrane fluidity in that region. B. maintain membrane fluidity due to exclusion of saturated glycerophospholipids. C. rigidify membranes by forming a complex that bridges the inner and outer leaflets. D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.
The correct answer is D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.
Explanation:
<u>Cholesterol</u> is a steroid lipid and is a constituent of biological membranes. It regulates the <em>fluidity</em> of the membrane (so, option C is not correct). Since cell membranes are composed of another type of lipids, the phospholipids, which form a bilayer, cholesterol distributes between the phospholipid tails and avoids these molecules pack each other forming rigid clusters. Thus, the option which better explains the effect is <em>D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.</em>
Humans—and other complex multicellular organisms—have systems of organs that work together, carrying out processes that keep us alive. ... Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems. The function of an organ system depends on the integrated activity of its organs.
Activity like having brightness all the way on or depending on how much data is used, having Bluetooth on also decreases the battery, having a charger on even when over 100 percent can make charging electronic slower. It's better to have the brightness low.
