Increasing temperature increases permeability
Temperatures below 0 degrees:
Permeability is high, phospholipids dont have energy so can't move very much, membrane is rigid, carrier proteins and channel proteins deform, ice crystals form and pierce membrane
Temperatures between 0 - 45 degrees:
Phospholipids gain more energy so they can move around more so become more permeable
Temperatures above 45 degrees:
Phospholipid bilayer startd to melt, water inside the cell expands putting pressure on the membrane, Channel proteins and carrier proteins deform so they can't control what enter or leaves cell
