They are usually obtained from animal sources d.
At room temperature the plasma membrane is solid.
In the golgi apparatus d.
The plasma membrane of animal cells.
The reason that saturated fats are liquids at room temperature is that they can t fill nearly as much space with the same number of molecules.
A before partial hydrogenation the shortening was animal fat and therefore solid at room temperature.
Membrane thickness most animal fats form a solid at room temperature while plant fats remain liquid at room temperature.
The fats in lard are mostly phospholipids.
Many factors affect how this membrane behaves and temperature is one of the most important.
A membrane surrounds every living cell keeping the cell s interior separated and protected from the outside world.
Temperature helps determine what can enter or leave the cell and how well molecules found within the membrane can function.
In the endoplasmic reticulum.
Most animal fats form a solid at room temperature while plant fats remain liquid at room temperature.
What does this tell you about the triglycerides in lard.
All cells have a flagellum.
They tend to dissolve in water easily.
1 t m melting temperature is a phase transition a change from a more rigid solid like state to a fluid like state measures of membrane fluidity.
Lard is a solid fat at room temperature.
All cells have a cell wall.
Think of a package of dry spaghetti noodles.
The reason that saturated fats are solid at room temperature is that the molecules are able to pack much closer together.
In the mitochondria c.
All cells have mitochondria.
Think of a bag of dry macaroni noodles.
A they are solid at room temperature b.
In the plasma membrane b.
Melting temperature the fluidity ease with which lipids move in the plane of the bilayer of cell membranes has to.
Which of the following is a feature of lipids in plant membranes that best explains this difference.
Saturated phosphatidylcholine lipids with tails longer than 14 carbons are solid at room temperature while those with fewer than 14 are liquid.
They have single bonds within the carbon chain c.
This phenomenon is analogous to the fact that paraffin wax which is composed of long alkanes is solid at room temperature while octane gasoline a short alkane is liquid.
All cells have a plasma membrane.
C before partial hydrogenation the shortening was vegetable fat and therefore solid at room temperature.
All cells have a nucleus.
