Summary Introduction

To determine: When the bacteria that grow at 20ºC are warmed to 30ºC will they produce the membrane lipid with saturated or unsaturated fatty acids.

Concept introduction: Membrane lipids are compound that belongs to the group, which forms the double-layered surface on all cells.  Phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol are the three major classes of membrane lipids. Membrane lipids can form lipid bilayer that keep the watery interior of the cell separates from the watery exterior.
