E)gelation temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The temperature at which a lipid bilayer shifts from a fluid state to a crystalline gel is known as the transition temperature. Option B is incorrect as temperature optimum refers to the temperature at which an enzyme has maximum activity, not lipid bilayers. Option C and D are incorrect as they do not relate to lipid bilayers. Option E is partially correct as gelation temperature is another name for transition temperature, but A is a more commonly used term.
