Various factors influences the fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. If we were to chart the composition of cell membranes in organisms as we move north from the equator to higher latitudes around the Arctic circle, we would expect to find
phospholipids with
A)
fewer hydrophilic heads.
B)
fewer interspersed cholesterol molecules.
both saturated and unsaturated fatty acid tails.
D
an increase in the length of the fatty acid tails.

D

an increase in the length of the fatty acid tails.

Explanation:

As average annual temperatures decrease, we would expect to find phospholipids within the cell membranes of organisms to have both saturated

and unsaturated fatty acid tails. Saturated fatty acids tails are arranged linearly, in a way that maximizes interactions between the tails and

decreases bilayer fluidity. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, have more distance between the tails, fewer intermolecular interactions and

more membrane fluidity. Longer tails and decreased cholesterol also decrease fluidity

where is the option.let me know

[ answer ]

foliated

[ explanation ]

foliation forms in a rock when pressure squeezes the rock together. the rock then has a design of many different color little lines. there are three types of foliated rock. the types are slate, schist, and gneiss. each type of foliated rock is different based on grain size and foliation characteristics. the lines appear when the rock has been under pressure.
