D)membrane asymmetry.
E)scanning calorimetry.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Temperature-induced changes in cell membrane fluidity represent a phase transition, in which the membrane shifts from a more ordered state (solid) to a more disordered state (fluid) or vice versa. This transition affects the structural and functional properties of the membrane, impacting its ability to perform tasks such as regulating the flow of molecules in and out of the cell.
