Membrane lipids in tissue samples obtained from different parts of a reindeer’s leg have different fatty acid compositions. Membrane lipids from tissue near the hooves contain a larger proportion of unsaturated fatty acids than those from tissue in the upper leg. What is the significance of this observation?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. The temperature of body tissues at the extremities is higher than that of tissues closer to the center of the body. If lipid is to remain fluid at this lower temperature, it must contain a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids; unsaturated fatty acids lower the melting point of lipid mixtures.
  2. The temperature of body tissues at the extremities is lower than that of tissues closer to the center of the body. If lipid is to remain fluid at this lower temperature, it must contain a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids; unsaturated fatty acids lower the melting point of lipid mixtures.
  3. The temperature of body tissues at the extremities is lower than that of tissues closer to the center of the body. If lipid is to remain fluid at this lower temperature, it must contain a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids; unsaturated fatty acids increase the melting point of lipid mixtures.
  4. The temperature of body tissues at the extremities is lower than that of tissues closer to the center of the body. If lipid is to remain fluid at this lower temperature, it must contain a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids; unsaturated fatty acids lower the melting point of lipid mixtures.
