What is the main function of proteins in the phospholipid bilayer?

A

To transport molecules in and out of the cell

44
Q

What three factors affect the fluidity of the cell membrane?

Unsaturated vs. saturated, cholesterol, and temperature

45
Q

Is the cell membrane saturated or unsaturated if the phospholipid tails are straight?

A

Saturated

Q

How does cholesterol help to maintain fluidity of the cell membrane?

A

It prevents packing
