What happens to phospholipid mobility when the cell is treated with agents that disrupt the underlying membrane skeleton?
A)Their mobility is unchanged.
B)Their mobility is increased because the fences that normally restrict their diffusion are removed.
C)Their mobility is decreased because the fences that normally restrict their diffusion are removed.
D)Their mobility is increased because the treatment raises the temperature.
E)Their mobility is decreased because the treatment lowers the temperature.
