Hello everyone, in this question we have been asked that which of the following factors would tend to increase the membrane fluidity.
00:08
So, we know that the membrane fluidity depends on the fatty acids that is present.
00:16
So, the longer chain of the fatty acid has the high melting temperature and that is why these here are present in the warmer environment and if there is the unsaturated fatty acid then it has the low melting temperature and due to which these are present in the colder temperature and the tm decreases with the increase in the unsaturation of the carbon, unsaturation of the fatty acid.
00:53
So, here the fluidity will be increased with the increase in the proportion of the unsaturated phospholipids.
01:03
The phospholipid tail can be soaked or unsaturated and the because here the tm is very low.
01:12
So, if the tm is low and the higher temperature is provided to the external environment then this will melt easily.
01:23
The unsaturated fats have more separation between the tails and due to which there are things present also.
01:30
So, therefore our right answer here will be option a that a greater proportion of the unsaturated phospholipids will increase the membrane fluidity.

Then in the next question we have been said that you are working on a team that is designing a new drug...
