Various factors influences the fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. If we were to chart the composition of cell membranes in organisms as we move north from the equator to higher latitudes around the Arctic circle, we would expect to find
phospholipids with
A)
fewer hydrophilic heads.
B)
fewer interspersed cholesterol molecules.
both saturated and unsaturated fatty acid tails.
D
an increase in the length of the fatty acid tails.

D

an increase in the length of the fatty acid tails.

Explanation:

As average annual temperatures decrease, we would expect to find phospholipids within the cell membranes of organisms to have both saturated

and unsaturated fatty acid tails. Saturated fatty acids tails are arranged linearly, in a way that maximizes interactions between the tails and

decreases bilayer fluidity. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, have more distance between the tails, fewer intermolecular interactions and

more membrane fluidity. Longer tails and decreased cholesterol also decrease fluidity

lunar landing mission. apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the moon. the first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by neil armstrong and buzz aldrin on july 20, 1969. the astronauts also returned to earth the first samples from another planetary body.

explanation:

allowed for the prediction of the properties of missing elements.
