which two of the following will increase the fluidity of a membrane?
higher temperatures
more saturated phospholipids
less cholesterol (at moderate temperatures)
For the first question, dynein, kinesin, and myosin are motor proteins that use energy from ATP to move along cytoskeletal filaments. Actin is a structural protein that forms filaments but is not a motor protein. For the second question, higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of membrane - components, increasing fluidity. At moderate temperatures, less cholesterol reduces the packing of phospholipids, increasing fluidity. Saturated phospholipids have straight tails that pack tightly, reducing fluidity.
