27. While culturing some cells, you lower the temperature of the culture. What happens immediately to the membrane fluidity? A. Nothing happens. B. The membrane becomes less fluid. C. The membrane becomes more fluid. D. The membrane fluidity fluctuates back and forth from high to low. 28. Why do cells lack membrane transport proteins for O₂? A. Because they need to keep the oxygen concentration low inside the reducing environment of the cell

1)Suppose you were culturing a population of bacteria at 37 degrees C and then reduce the temperature of the culture to 15 degree C. Immediately upon the decrease in temperature what would happen to the membrane fluidity of the cells? The fluidity of the membrane decreases due to principles of thermodynamics. The fluidity of the membrane increases due to principles of thermodynamics. The fluidity of the membrane would be unchanged since membrane fluidity for each species is constant. 2) What property of a molecule will determine whether it facilitated across the membrane or simply diffuses across the membrane?Group of answer choices All of the above None of the above Its size Its polarity Its charge 3) To prepare 1L of a 15mM glucose solution, how much glucose would you use?
