The image shows a lipid bilayer, with the polar heads represented by circles and the hydrophobic tails represented by lines. Arrange the fatty acids in the lipid bilayer to indicate a structure that, when incorporated into a phospholipid, would result in a more fluid membrane with a lower melting point. Be sure to insert the fatty acids into the bilayer in the correct orientation. Not all the fatty acids will be used. 500000 Answer Bank 11 11
