In preparation for hibernation, ground squirrels tend to increase the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids incorporated into their membrane lipids. given that the animals must survive a significant drop in body temperature during hibernation, which of the following statements correctly explains why this particular change in fatty acid composition occurs?
a) the fluidity of the squirrels' cell membranes must be increased, and unsaturated fatty acids assist in this because they have fewer van der waal's interactions between them than saturated fatty acids. b) the fluidity of the squirrels' cell membranes must be decreased, and unsaturated fatty acids assist in this because they have more van der waal's interactions between them than saturated fatty acids. c) the fluidity of the squirrels' cell membranes must be increased, and unsaturated fatty acids assist in this because they have more van der waal's interactions between them than saturated fatty acids. d)the fluidity of the squirrels' cell membranes must be decreased, and unsaturated fatty acids assist in this because they have fewer van der waal's interactions between them than saturated fatty acids.

Put the following processes of protein synthesis in the correct order: - dna strands unwind and separate - mrna copies dna according to complimentary base pairing - trna's anticodons bring amino acids to the corresponding mrna codons - amino acids bind to each other making a protein - mrna leaves the nucleus - a stop codon is reached, the newly formed protein is released to go do its job for the cell
