Membrane fluidity is affected by temperature and by the percentage of fatty acid tails in the
phospholipid molecules that are saturated.
Which combination of these two factors would result in the greatest membrane fluidity?
| temperature / | percentage of the fatty acid tails in the phospholipids that are saturated | |
|---|---|---|
| A | 10 | 80 |
| B | 40 | 20 |
| C | 10 | 20 |
| D | 40 | 80 |
