What affect do lipids with double bonds in their nonpolar tails have on the integrity of the PM?
They increase the fluidity of the PM
They decrease the fluidity of the PM
They allow more lipids to pack tighter in the membrane
They cause the membrane to become less stable
Answer:_________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

The consistency of membranes at various temperatures can be understood using the Margarine and Butter analogy. Butter contains longer saturated chains of fat derived from animals while Margarine contains short polyunsaturated fats derived from corn oil. When taken directly from the refrigerator, Margarine can be spread with ease while the Butter does not. What conclusion should you draw regarding how the composition of membrane lipid regulate the fluidity of the PM?
Longer chains exhibit more double bonds and increases contact of lipids
Longer chain exhibit fewer double bonds and increases contact of lipids
Shorter chains exhibit more double bonds and increases contact of lipids
Shorter chains exhibit more double bonds and increases contact of lipids

Sugars constituents various on red blood cells depending on blood type, why would giving someone the wrong blood type be fatal?
Blood groups differ in the levels of hemoglobin they carry
The body would view the sugars as antigens and form antibodies against them.
Because of the incompatible sugar arrangement, the blood would not flow to the heart properly.
The foreign sugar sequences will attack to the sugar sequences on normal cells.
