Addition of PUFA in plasma membrane causes
Ans. is 'b' i.e. increased fluidity of membranes : As explained previously in NOV 2000 paperThe fluidity of the plasma membrane is highly dependent upon the lipid composition of the membrane . * Saturated fatty acids : Increase the transition temperature and hence decrease the fluidity.Unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) : Decrease the transition temperature and hence increase the fluidity of membrane.
