Choose the correct statement(s)regarding Archaeal membrane lipid functionality.(Select all that apply)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Archaeal membrane lipids have ether linkages instead of ester linkages, which confers greater resistance to oxidative and alkaline damage. Therefore, option A, which suggests that ester linkages are more heat-stable, is incorrect. Option C, which suggests that the lipid bilayer is thermally more stable, cannot be inferred from the given information. Option D, which suggests that lipid monolayers resist alkaline conditions better, lacks clarity as to whether it is referring to Archaeal lipids specifically or lipids in general.
