Question

Decreasing the saturation of the fatty acid chains on a particular type of phospholipid would result in the formation of _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is "more fluid bilayers".

Explanation:

A fatty acid is a biomolecule of lipidic nature formed by a long hydrocarbon chain of different lengths at the end of which there is a carboxyl group.

The wall of the gallbladder consists of three main layers of tissue: The mucosa covers the wall of the gallbladder. The muscular layer of smooth muscle. The serosa, which is the outer layer.

By decreasing the saturation of the fatty acid chains in phospholipids, the bile layers would reduce their thickness and become more fluid.

Have a nice day!
