Question
Chapter 25.5, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way in which the bacteria regain their original fluidity has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Phosphoglycerides form membranes by arranging themselves in a lipid bilayer.
The polar heads of the phosphoglycerides are on both surfaces of the bilayer and fatty acids form the interior of the bilayer.

A colony of bacteria accustomed to an environment with a temperature of 25 °C was moved to an identical environment, except that its temperature was 35 °C. The higher temperature increased the fluidity of the bacterial membranes. How can the bacteria regain their original membrane fluidity?
Provide an example of a molecule in which a covalent bond does NOT share electrons
equally. How does this bond impact the ability of the molecule to dissolve in water?
Explain your answer.
A researcher designs two lipid bilayers. The first sample contains a bilayer with lipids
that have 14 Carbons while the other sample contains a bilayer with lipids that have 8
Carbons. Given these two designs, which bilayer sample would allow the most
movement across the bilayer? Explain your answer.
The molar mass of an enzyme was measured by dissolving the 3.221 grams of the
enzyme in 1.00 liter of water. The osmotic pressure of the solution was 5.746 cm
of solution at 20°C (assume the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL and the density
of mercury is 13.56 g/mL). What is the molar mass of the enzyme?
