    Membranes are held together by hydrophobic interactions

    Proteins and lipids can move around laterally on one layer but rarely flip to the other side

    Some move along the cytoskeleton fibers

    Membrane remains fluid as temperature decreases until the phospholipids settle into a closely packed arrangement

    Membrane remains fluid longer if there are more phospholipids with unsaturated hydrocarbon tails

    Separated more because of the kinks in the tails

    Cholesterol

    At higher temperatures, it makes the membrane less fluid

    Restrains phospholipid movement

    Lowers the temperature required for membranes to solidify because they are packed less tightly

    Temperature buffer
