A cell was growing happily at 37 C, but the temperature was then changed to 40°C. All of these can be modifications to the plasma membrane that could a cell make to counteract the increase in temperature except: a. Decrease the number of double bonds in fatty acids in the phospholipids. Ob. Introduce more saturated fatty acids into the phospholipids. c. Introduce shorter chain length fatty acids into the phospholipids d. Introduce longer chain length fatty acids into the phospholipids

In order to investigate the action of a bacterial membrane protein that is a light-driven proton pump, you purify the protein and assemble it together with phospholipids into liposomes that contain an indicator dye, which is blue at high pH, colorless at neutral pH, and red at low pH. You then expose the liposomes, in an aqueous solution, to sunlight. The interior of the liposomes turn blue. Further investigatin of the proton pump protein you find that treatment of either intact bacteria or the purified protein with the protease chymotrypsin result in cleavage of the protein at a single site near the amino terminus, which destroys its capacity to pump protons. When you treat the liposomes described above with chymotrypsin, the interior of the liposomes remains colorless. From these results create a diagram of that illustrates the orientation of the pump protein in the plasma membrane of the intact bacterium and the direction in which it pumps protons. Explain your reasoning.
