Q. Which of the following statements about unsaturated phospholipids is true?
a
Unsaturated phospholipids maximize the number of hydrogens in their fatty acid tails and lack kinks.
b
Unsaturated phospholipids prevent close-knit packing of molecules in the membrane, which enhances lateral movement and increases membrane fluidity.
c
Unsaturated phospholipids prevent close-knit packing of molecules in the membrane, which limits lateral movement and decreases membrane fluidity.
d
Unsaturated phospholipids do not have any double bonds in their tails and are therefore kinked.
