________-Branched Chains Increase Membrane Stability

Question

________-branched chains increase membrane stability.
A) Isoprenoid
B) Ester
C) Ether
D) Diether
E) Phospholipid

Accepted Answer

Isoprenoid-branched chains, also known as isoprenoids or terpenes, have a compact and rigid structure that increases membrane stability. This property makes them important components of biological membranes, especially those in extreme environmental conditions. Ester, ether, diether, and phospholipids do not have the same effect on membrane stability.
