- Saturated fatty acids have a less fluid membrane then unsaturated
- high temperature and fluidity: membrane could leak
- low temp and fluidity: membrane could shatter
- To maintain constant fluidity: change saturation or use cholesterol
- high temp: cholesterol keeps phospholipids together
- low temp: cholesterol keeps the phospholipids apart
- Peripheral membrane proteins = on membrane
- Integral membrane proteins = in membrane
