A consistent response in many organisms to changing environmental temperatures is the restructuring of cellular membranes. In some fish, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the liver microsomal lipid membrane contains predominantly docosahexaenoic acid, 22:6 at C-2 of the glycerol-3-phosphate backbone and then either a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acyl group at C-1. Which of the following statements are False?
a. At 10 degrees Centigrade a lower percentage of PE molecules contain saturated fatty acyl groups at C-1 when compared to fish acclimatized at 30 degrees Centigrade.
b. At 10 degrees Centigrade a higher percentage of PE molecules contain saturated fatty acyl groups at C-1 when compared to fish acclimatized at 30 degrees Centigrade.
Ñ. At 30 degrees Centigrade a lower percentage of PE molecules had monounsaturated acyl groups at C-1 compared to that observed at 10 degrees Centigrade.
d. At 30 degrees Centigrade a higher percentage of PE molecules had monounsaturated acyl groups at C-1 compared to that observed at 10 degrees Centigrade.
e. The purpose of membrane restructuring with a change in temperature is to maintain fluidity of the membrane.

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.

When new rock is added to an oceanic ridge, the magnetized strips on either side of the ridge are evidence of sea-floor spreading. this is because the rocks on the two sides of the ridge o are equal in width and in polarity are polar opposites oare magnetized vary in width but are equal in polarity
