If FRAP is performed on two membranes, one at 25ºC and the other
at 40ºC, which one of the following results would most likely be
observed?
a. Both membranes would recover fluorescence in the bleached area
at the same rate.
, b. Only the membrane at the lower temperature would recover
fluorescence in the bleached area.
c. Both membranes would recover fluorescence in the bleached
area, but the membrane at the colder temperature would recover
more rapidly.
d. Only the membrane at the higher temperature would recover
fluorescence in the bleached area.
e. Both membranes would recover fluorescence in the bleached
area, but the membrane at the warmer temperature would recover
more rapidly. - answer e. Both membranes would recover

In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms
must alter the composition of their plasma membranes to maintain
the proper degree of fluidity. As summer turns to fall and eventually
into winter, which of the following would you predict you would
observe in the plasma membranes of organisms that are unable to
regulate their body temperature?
a. a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a
decrease in side chain saturation
b. an increase in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and an
increase in side chain saturation
