The text states that ribonucleotides can diffuse through some types of liposomes.It's likely that the lipids present early in chemical evolution had short chains.Would liposomes formed from these types of lipids be more or less permeable to ribonucleotides than if early cells formed from long-chained lipids?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Liposomes formed from short-chained lipids are generally more permeable because shorter chains result in less tightly packed membranes, allowing molecules like ribonucleotides to diffuse more easily.
