Question
Chapter 12, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect on the composition of fatty-acid of the membrane if the temperature of the culture of growing bacteria is changed from
Concept introduction:
The plasma membrane is a two-dimensional fluid-fluid change with the temperature. Unsaturated or less tightly-packed phospholipids fatty acid causes higher fluidity of the membrane. High-temperature results in higher fluidity.

Suggest a reason why the cell membranes of bacteria grown at 20°C tend to have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids than the membranes of bacteria of the same species grown at 37°C. In other words, the bacteria grown at 37°C have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids in their cell membranes.
More ratios. Through the use of nuclear magnetic resonance
spectroscopy, it is possible to determine the ratio between the
protonated and deprotonated forms of buffers. (a) Suppose the ratio
of [ A- ]A I to [HA] is determined to be 0.1 for a buffer with
pKar6.0.pKa = 6.0. What is the pH? (b) For a different buffer,

suppose the ratio of [ A- ]lA J to [HA] is determined to be 0.1 and
the pHpH is 7.0. In this case, what is the pKapKa of the buffer? (c) For
another buffer with pKa=7.5PKa = 7.5 at pH 8.0pH 8.0, what is the
expected ratio of [ A- ][A ] to [HA]? do
