Question


need help please

Which of the following statements are true? Select all correct answers Cell membranes in reindeer legs (near the hooves) are kept flexible because they have a large number of saturated fatty acids. Yeast cells that produce more unsaturated fatty acids than saturated fatty acids in response to cold have greater cold tolerance. Cell membranes in cold-tolerant winter wheat plants have a higher ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids than do cold-intolerant wheat varieties. A plant that produces more monounsaturated fatty acids than polyunsaturated fatty acids in its membranes in winter has an increased resistance to freeze damage.
