Mackerel are cold water fish that thrive at 12 c but can


Mackerel are cold water fish that thrive at 12 °C, but can survive at 4 °C. Assuming membrane fluidity remains the same, how will the composition of a mackerel's cell plasma membranes change in terms of length of fatty acids in the membrane, degree of unsaturation of fatty acids, and overall cholesterol concentration when the water's temperature drops from 12 °C to 4 °C?
