how does the proportion of both long chain fatty acids and sphingolipids affect the fluidity of...
In membrane proteins, fluidity is increased by increase in cholesterol content higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids decrease in temperature integral proteins
Membrane fluidity for bacteria is critical. What type of fatty acids would you expect bacteria to synthesize as growth temperature increases? Why type of fatty acids would you expect bacteria to synthesize as growth temperature decreases? Why cannot bacteria simply synthesize the same type of fatty acids regardless of temperature?

mechanism by which the cells transport them.
duction of Energy via Fatty Acid Oxidation CPT II mitochondrial matrix large CPT I inner mitochondrial Long-chain fatty acids have an alkyl chain of more than 10 carbon atoms. Fatty acids with alkyl chains of this length are characterized as size. This length decreases their ability to cross the lipid bilayer of the mitochondrial...

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long, unbranched hydrocarbon chain. There are three main classes of fatty acids. Classify the fatty acids as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated. Saturated Monounsaturated Polyunsaturated linoleic acid arachidonic acid oleic acid stearic acid palmitic acid
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long unbranched hydrocarbon chain. There are three main classes of fatty acids. Sort the following fatty acids into saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated categories.
Note: If one or more acids are incorrectly placed, a single red X will appear on the top left of the Saturated bin. This does not necessarily mean the acids placed in the Saturated bin are wrong, but that there is a mistake somewhere.
26. Melting Points of Lipids The melting points of a series of 18-carbon fatty acids are: stearic acid, 69.6 °C, oleic acid, 13.4 °C; linoleic acid, -5 °C; and linolenic acid, -11 °C. (a) What structural aspect of these 18-carbon fatty acids can be correlated with the melting point? (b) Draw all the possible triacylglycerols that can be constructed from glycerol, palmitic acid, and oleic acid. Rank them in order of increasing melting point. (c) Branched-chain fatty acids are found...

Deficiencies of carnitine, carnitine acyltransferases, or carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase affect the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. Many of the symptoms are similar, and include hypoketotic hypoglycemia (low ketone levels and low blood sugar with fasting), and damage to the liver, heart, or muscles due to fatty acid buildup in those tissues. Symptom severity varies with the form of the deficiency.
The following abbreviations are used: carnitine acyltransferase (carnitine palmitoyltransferase), CPT and carnitine/acyl carnitine translocase, CACT.
