Organism that live at cold temperature have lots of cholesterol - this is due to the incorporation of cholesterol in tail portion of lipid bilayer of cell membrane, which act as a buffer to increases the membrane fluidity.
At low temperatures, the phospholipids and lipid bilayer present in the cell membrane starts clustering together to form a crystallized state, which decreases the membrane fluidity. So cholesterol incorporation is needed.
Unsaturated fatty acids have low melting points, so it's incorporation is also needed.
In simple words:
Cholesterol - membrane fluidity.
Unsaturated fatty acids - low melting points.

6. The lipid membranes of organisms that live in extremely cold environments have glycerophospholipids that contain an increased percentage of unsaturated fatty acid tails (as compared to organisms that live in more moderate temperatures). Why would this be the case? Provide an explanation based on the fluidity of the lipid membrane. 7. Given its composition and structure, do you think K" ion or indolewould ) would be able to better move through the lipid membrane? Provide an explanation based on...

Membrane lipids have fatty acid tails and, like triacylglycerols, their properties are governed by the properties of these tails. Based on what we saw with dietary lipids, which membrane would have more fluid characteristics – the one with more saturated fatty acids or the one with more unsaturated fatty acids? Explain your reasoning. Look at the structure of cholesterol. Cholesterol is a necessary component of biological membranes. What do you think cholesterol would do to the structure of a membrane...
