What happens to phospholipid mobility when the cell is treated with agents that disrupt the underlying membrane skeleton?
A)Mobility is unchanged.
B)Mobility is increased because the fences that normally restrict their diffusion are removed.
C)Mobility is decreased because the fences that normally restrict their diffusion are removed.
D)Mobility is increased because the treatment raises the temperature.
E)Mobility is decreased because the treatment lowers the temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mobility is increased because agents that disrupt the underlying membrane skeleton remove the structural barriers or "fences" that normally restrict the diffusion of phospholipids, allowing them to move more freely within the membrane.
