BIOB34H3 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Cell Membrane, Hsp70, Poikilotherm
Document Summary
After feeding, hsp70 in the salivary glands and midgut contain significantly more. This mosquito experiences the heat increment of feeding, and must now respond to its new higher body temperature. Strength lets membranes resist heat, but they also need to be flexible enough to allow proteins and diffusion. Document created: 2018-09-04: membrane fluidity case study icefish vs turkey. The turkey, which typically lives in warm temperatures, keeps its membranes within the optimal fluidity range. The icefish, which normally lives in cold temperatures and environments, has also evolved to keep fluidity relatively constant. The formal name for this phenomenon is homeoviscous adaptation: the question remains as to how animals are able to do this, and the fluidity of membranes in the face of thermoregulation can be divided into three critical components. Typical parts of a phospholipid - a polar head, the glycerol backbone, and a fatty acid tail.
