How do unsaturated fatty acids in the glycerophospholipids affect the structure of the Cell Membrane?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Because of the kinks in the carbon chains at the cis double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids, the glycerophospholipids do not fit closely together. As a result, the lipid bilayer is not a rigid, fixed structure, but one that is dynamic and fluid like.

How does saturated fat effect iodine atoms?
unsaturated are oils that have double bonds in their structure because there is not enough hydrogen atoms to bond with the carbon atoms. In such case, carbon atoms bond to each others to form double or triple bonds. adding iodine, saturates the oil as iodine atoms bond to carbon atoms as if they were hydrogen atoms. This is an answer to the question that should read: How does iodine affect unsaturated fats?
