Question

An increased amount of unsaturated fatty acids in cytoplasmic membranes is a molecular adaption of_ since_ thermophiles, unsaturated fatty acids help the membrane remain in a solid state at high temperatures to block excessive transport activity. psychrophiles, unsaturated fatty acids help the membrane solidify at lower temperatures at block transport activity. thermophiles, unsaturated fatty acids help the membrane remain in a semifluid state at high temperatures to help carry out transport and bionergetic functions. O psychrophiles, unsaturated fatty acids help the membrane remain in a semifluid state at low temperatures to help carry out transport and bioenergetic functions.

Answer 1

Answer :- psychrophiles, unsaturated fatty acids helps the membrane remain in a semifluid state at low temperatures to help carry out transport and bioenergetic functions

Psychrophiles are microorganisms that live in cold temperatures. An increased amount of unsaturated fatty acids in the cytoplasmic membrane is an adaption that helps them survive in harsh cold climates. These unsaturated fatty acids helps to maintain the fluidity of cells membrane and prevents loss of function at low temperature.
