the number of double bonds
what is a double bond in a fat
unsaturated and normally the cis type
what do double bonds do to lipids?

cholestoral is absent from both plant and prokaryotic membranes
two functions of cholestoral when in the membrane
-increase the permeability barrier and modulate membrane fluidity

..
why does Tc vary membrane to membrane?
environment and functional needs
low Tc
more fluid bilayer at room temperature...further from freezing

higher percent of unsaturated fats

short fatty acid chains
what can cause low Tc in lipids?
-unsaturated fatty acid chains...double bonds or short fatty acid chains

-
what does high cholesterol do to Tc
broadens temperature range over which gelling occurs....creates an intermediate fluidity in the temperature range
how to maintain or change lipid fluidity
Lipid fluidity can be controlled by synthesizing new phospholipids with different fatty acid properties

or

remodeling existing phospholipidfatty acid chains using enzymes that insert/remove double bonds in the chain

Fluidity can be maintained constant at different temperatures by this means

–important in cold-blooded animals, like pond dwelling fish which experience extremes of temperature.

Reduced temperatures in winter require a lower Tcto maintain membrane fluidity and so more unsaturated phospholipids are inserted into cell membranes
remember lower Tc means more liquid just like a frozen pond will have the water portion lower than the ice(gel)
what about lipids with different headgroups or different lipids entirely

ex..
asymmetry between being found in cytosolic membrane and exoplasmic membrane.

ex..
sphingomyelin-extracellular
