Which of the following occurs in the membrane, when the temperature is lowered?(a) denaturation(b) desaturation(c) saccharification(d) glycolysisThe question was posed to me in my homework.My question is from Cellular Membranes in division Cellular Membranes of Cell Biology

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) desaturation

To explain I would say: When the TEMPERATURE of the surrounding is lowered, the cells respond metabolically. MEMBRANE REMODELING takes place to make the cell more cold resistant. This takes place by desaturation of fatty acyl chains to form double bonds.
