Q

Are phospholipids solid or fluid? Also explain phospholipids.

A

They are fluid. Individual phospholipids and unanchored proteins can move freely through the membrane. Saturated fatty acids make membrane more fluid than unsaturated fatty acids. Also warmer temperatures make it more fluid than cooler temps.
