True-False. Write T for true and F for false on the line preceding the statement. _____ Fats that contain a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids tend to be liquid at room temperature. _____ Cholesterol will increase the fluidity of membranes rich in saturated fatty acids. _____ Membranes that have a higher proportion of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids are more cold-tolerant than membranes that have a higher proportion of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids. _____ The Tm is inversely proportional to the G+C content of double-stranded DNA. _____ Deoxynucleotides lack a hydroxyl group on the 2' carbon. _____ In the B form of double-stranded DNA, the complementary base pairs lie nearly parallel to the axis of the helix. _____ Underwound double-stranded DNA forms negative supercoils. _____ Carbohydrate modifications are predominantly on the region of an integral membrane protein that faces the cytosol. _____ For some lipid-linked proteins, there’s a covalent bond between an N-terminal glycine residue of the protein and myristic acid. _____ The membrane-spanning region of integral membrane proteins is rich in polar amino acids.
