Question
Chapter 12, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the change in conductance of the bilayer membrane needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The lipid bilayer membrane is made up of two layers of lipid molecules. The lipid membrane goes to the phase from a high state to the frozen stage.The conductance of the lipid membrane is decreased.
