The organisms that have the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acid chains in their membranes are ANTARCTIC FISH.

  • Unsaturated fatty acid chains have one or more double bonds, while saturated fatty acid chains do not contain any double bonds.

  • When the temperature decreases, the composition of the phospholipids bilayer membrane becomes more unsaturated to be able to maintain different properties such as homeoviscosity.

  • In consequence, membrane lipids exhibit the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acid chains during cold acclimation.

In conclusion, the organisms that have the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acid chains in their membranes are ANTARCTIC FISH.
