Suppose a researcher successfully produced a membrane composed of saturated triglycerides rather than from phospholipids. What characteristics would you expect the saturated triglyceride membrane to have

The options are not given, here are the options from another websites.

a.hydrophilic molecules would easily pass through the membrane.

B. hydrophobic molecules would be attracted to the membrane.

c. the membrane would be fluid at room temperature

d. the saturated triglycerides would not form a bilayer.

The correct options are b and d.

hydrophobic molecules would be attracted to the membrane.

the saturated triglycerides would not form a bilayer.

Explanation:

Triglycerides are substances that are comprises of a higher degree of saturated fatty acid chains in which carbons are connected or linked up by single bonds. Triglycerides are non polar hydrophobic molecules and are therefore attracted by hydrophobic interactions ( that is between water and hydrophobes). Triglycerides helpin maintenance of cell membranes by forming a lipid bilayer.

answer; polycythemia is the correct answer;

label a cell membrane

label b cytoplasm

label c ribosomes

label d dna

the membrane forms the outside of the cell

cytoplasm is the liquid within

ribosomes are the components within that distribute rna

the dna is the genetic make-up
