Membrane lipids of chillsensitive plants contain - (1) low proportion of saturated fatty acids. (2) low proportion of unsaturated fatty acids. (3) equal proportion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. (4) high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids.

1 Answer

Answer :

(4) high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids. Explanation: The membranes of chill sensitive plants have been found to have about a 2:1 ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids. It has been seen that the proportion of unsaturated membrane fatty acids increases and the critical temperature decreases when chill-sensitive plants are acclimated to a low temperature.
