Cell membrane fluidity

SOLVED:Membrane fluidity is influenced by the number of C-C double bonds (unsaturation) in the hydrocarbon tails of the lipids composing cell membranes. Fluidity is also dependent on temperature. The transit of materials through the cell membrane is controlled by fluidity. To maintain homeostasis, all organisms, including the simple bacterium E. coli, must sense the temperature of the environment and adapt to changes. Samples of E . coli were grown at four different temperatures, and then resear

Cholesterol in the Cell Membrane | Overview, Function & Structure

SOLVED:Cholesterol is an important constituent of eukaryotic cell membranes and affects the fluidity of the membrane. Consider the structure of cholesterol (shown below) and suggest how it might be orientated in the membrane.
