Which component of the cell membrane might contribute to maintaining the fluidity of plasma membranes under freezing conditions?
Cholesterol found between the phospholipids can keep the membrane from becoming too viscous during freezing conditions.
Does ketchup have viscous?
By viscous, I think you mean viscosity. Viscous is a adjective referring to the thickness of a substance; therefore, yes, ketchup is somewhat viscous.
Is viscous liquid a sludge?
no. but a sludge is a viscous liquid
Is composite volcano lava viscous or fluid?
viscous
Is nickel viscous?
no. nickel is a solid metal and not viscous material.
What structure produces synovial fluid?
Te Synovial Membrane
Can you use glycerin for throat infection?
Glycerine is commonly used as a base because being viscous,it adheres to mucous membrane for a long period.

Why is honey harder to pour after you have put it in the fridge?
Honey is a very concentrated solution, mainly of sugar. Such solutions become thinner (less viscous) when warmed and thicker (more viscous) when cooled. So the cold honey will be more difficult to pour or spread on your toast. The same would apply to engine oil. When the engine is cool the oil will be more viscous and tend to stick to engine components. When the engine runs the oil becomes less viscous and is easier to pump and splash about in the sump, so giving better lubrication to moving parts such as crankshaft bearings and big ends.

Is there a word that means the opposite of 'viscous'?
The opposite of viscous is runny.
Which is more viscous pure water or saline water?
The saline water is more viscous.
Is blood Viscous or non viscous?
Blood is viscous, as it contains a hugely populous density of red blood cells therefore making it viscous. A comparison would be to water, which is less than 3 times as viscous as blood, as it contains around less than 3 times the amount of molecules than in blood.
