Question

For each given statement, choose an accurate response that is either likely or unlikely to be seen when a bacterial culture growing at 37?C is transferred to a culture room maintained at 25?Cbased on the stated reasoning.

For each given statement, choose an accurate response that is either likely or unlikely to be seen when a bacterial culture growing at 37?C is transferred to a culture room maintained at 25?Cbased on the stated reasoning. initial decrease in membrane fluidity Part B gradual replacement of shorter-chain fatty acids by longer-chain fatty acids in the membrane phospholipids Part C gradual replacement of stearate by oleate in the membrane phospholipids Part D enhanced rate of synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids

Explanation / Answer

Part A:

This is likely because membrane fluidity decreases as the temperature is lowered.

Part B:

This is unlikely because longer-chain fatty acids decrease membrane fluidity.

Part C:

This is likely because unsaturated fatty acids (oleate) will increase membrane fluidity.

Part D:

This is likely because unsaturated fatty acids will increase membrane fluidity.
